Flemington hosts a 10 race program on Melbourne Cup Day on November 1, 2022. Free betting tips and best bets are available.

9. AWESTRUCK won her first jumpout on what looked a wet Cranbourne training centre track. Charm Stone ran well on debut. Hellbent can produce a two-year-old.

Diabelli jumped out alongside his stablemates on October 21 and went to the line with the favourite in this race.

Zulfiqar won on debut in the Maribyrnong Trial.

Parade Ground is the third Godolphin horse to have shown good results at the jumpouts.

Team Captain won the Melbourne Cup last year with a lighter weight. Lunar Flare won it two starts back and Francesco Guardi placed second.

7.7 White Marlin is unbeaten in four starts. He won at Caulfield last start.

Caboche won at Caulfield over 2400m last time.

Verimli ran well in the Bendigo Cup but his form can drop off quickly.

James McDonald is the favourite for the 1400m race at the Cheltenham. Criminal Code has shown some of his better form over further distances.

Ascension won on a heavy 10 track last start at a big price. The stable expects an improved performance off that first-up run. Ascension draws well and gets his chance.

Love Tap is the class of the field.

Smokin' Toff is a mare who has plenty of talent and races best when kept fresh.

HIGH APPROACH won his maiden race on the Ballarat Synthetic track. Ben Melham will have to look for the three-wide line with cover.

Dashing is going better than his odds suggest. He ran a credible race in the Guineas two back and was again game in defeat in a race run in similar time to that of the Cox Plate. Back in trip to 1800m is ideal.

Quang Tri is a talented filly who was too good in a small field last time.

Dream Hour won two straight races before running a nice fifth in the Geelong Classic.

KATSU has two 1000m wins in weaker company. He beat up on the older horses last start. KATSu is the one I want to be with now and going forward.

Kin has not had the best of luck in her last two starts. The key is coming back in trip to 1000m and getting to the straight. Jamie Kah looks the danger.

Alpha Flight was a class above the benchmark sprinting three-year-olds in Adelaide.

Fission won at The Valley last start.

6. CHARACTER is happy to forgive his Toorak run. He should have won at Flemington two back over 1400m. The key for him is that the track does not get heavy.

Bermadez ran well in the Sale Cup. Bermadezz drops 2.5kg from that effort.

Just Folk is a mudlark. He has form around the likes of Cascadian.

Noname Lane draws the fence which is perfect for him.

Deauville Legend looks the horse to beat at Melbourne Cup. Sea The Stars is untested on a wet track. Deauvil Legend won at York last start.

Without A Fight won both the Grand Cup and Silver Cup Stakes at York two and three starts back over 2787m. Five goes on soft for two wins and two placings.

Realm Of Flowers gets in with no weight at 50kg and gets the gun run from gate five.

Knight's Order won the Caulfield Cup.

10. Munhamek won over 1400m at Caulfield in August. He will get a chance to race further forward at Flemington. Blake Shinn will ride him.

Detonator Jack has been prepped for this with two trials. He came third in the SA Derby.

Deel will bowl along in front but again does not want this track to get into the heavy range.

He's Our Bonneval won his first-up race at Caulfield.

Another award is going much better than what her price suggests. She beat Zapateo first-up at Caulfield. Her form is around Zapateso. Craig Williams is a jockey on fire.

Decent Raine was beaten by Literary Magnate first-up at Flemington. DecentRaine draws barrier six and should find a leading spot.

Roots needs a few scratchings but she closed off beautifully on the inside when beaten by My Whisper at The Valley on Cox Plate Day. Flemington will be her track.

Promise Of Success won The Invitation in Sydney last start. Barrier one for a get back mare makes me nervous.

16. VESPERTINE is going to be scratched for Saturday's racing. She won the Northwood Plume last start.

Najmaty is not a fan of wet ground but she is the on-topper if the rain doesn't come. NajmatY won her latest race at Flemington.

Nicolini Vito won the Village Stakes first-up.

Zethus had a gun run last time but was found out up in grade.
