2021 MELBOURNE CUP – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS
Twilight Payment led all the way to land this great race last year and tipping he will be out to try the same stunt this time around. Going to have plenty of company with Knights Order, Persan, Tralee Rose and Floating Artist all rolling across from middle draws and both Pondus and Delphi will want to hold positive spots from their low gates.
Whole race hangs on the Caulfield Cup winner, INCENTIVISE (2). He was brilliant there, posting one of the best wins in the modern history of that race, and with the international challenge depleted in 2021 his form towers over the remainder. If he produces his best, or close to it, over the famous Flemington two miles then he will win.
DELPHI (7) ran a poor one there but perhaps back onto a quicker surface he can bounce back to the form that had him hard in the Caulfield Cup market. PERSAN (11) ran really well there with an eye to Flemington where he has performed best including when a gallant fifth in last year's Melbourne Cup. Top yard have him ready to run well again.
The Irish-bred three-year-olds have a great record in this race - and everywhere in Australia for that matter - and that makes Sir Lucan interesting. Looks sure to stay the trip and profiles similarly to several that have run well here. GRAND PROMENADE (16) and TRALEE ROSE (21) are others set to run well.
