Mayfield-Smith basically told the press he didn't want to win here as he didn't want a penalty for the major goal...The Melbourne Cup.

When they do that, the money stays away. Even the jock will just let him have a good run and put him away I reckon.

I know you probably aren't betting, but if anyone is... Stay away from Maybe Better.

Once Cup time rolls around, you don't want a huge performance or penalty right before the big one.

Especially if you have a true Cup horse, which Maybe Better is.

I've landed on Master O'Reilly with the 50.5kg.

I'm questioning whether Maldivian can get the 2400.

They aren't gonna let him go pressure free.

Also firing away at Drac's Back in the seventh.

Maldivian (NZ) for me, light weight and zabeel blood you'd have to say breed to stay.
