Yeah I'd say that's quite likely.

Apparently Mighty is pretty much certain to come though and Purple Moon is likely, so there will at least be some international interest.

a horse that I find interesting is Master O'Reilly, I saw him win in Felmington the day Marasco won the Makybe Diva Stakes (Sept 8th) and this guy came from dead last in a 17 run about 10 wide into the home stretch and won very very easily. I dont know how good the field was and what his plans are but I see he's listed and Ill have to keep an eye on him.

Not heard of him, but i will certainly keep my eye on him in what looks like it could be one of weakest Melbourne Cups in a long time.

It does seem like Aidan has decided against sending any horses over. Mighty couldn't win it if he started now.

Purple Moon would have to be in with a massive chance on form.
