Big day tomorrow - Australia’s biggest horse race, so if there are any horse racing experts on here that can tip me the winner/top three I’d appreciate it and will have a punt.
My normal approach is “word association” to the names!
Cheers.

Many years ago I lost two bob (gives away how long ago :) )in a Melbourne cup sweep.

That's the last time I'm doing that...

Normally any Group 1 race here is won by the Irish trainer Aiden O'Brien in these current times, his son James has runners too, there is one horse I was reading about which was sold by O'Brien to an Australian called Southern France so perhaps that's where my ten bob each-way would go.
