2020 MELBOURNE CUP – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Persan will look to get across from out wide on the tail of Dashing Willoughby. Does Tiger Moth go with them? McEvoy has a decision to make there. Finche and Vow And Declare will use good draws along with others and, all that considered, we should get a true test in the Cup of 2020.

TIGER MOTH (21) draws right out and that may trick things up but it gives them options with him and he looks sure to relish going to two miles now in a race that he has been targeted towards by the world's leading stable. Big run in the Irish Derby at just his third start and then won a really competitive Group 3 last time to lock up a spot here. Profiles like the one they have to beat.

SIR DRAGONET (5) got better the further they went in the Cox Plate. Won a test of stamina there and rating gives him a massive look here if he can take it to two miles. RUSSIAN CAMELOT (15) comes off the same race with a great chance. Still on the up and a terrific talent. VERRY ELLEEGANT (7) starred at Caulfield. Grand mare that would love some rain. ASHRUN (18) may get too far back but he stays powerfully. Look for him storming at the line late on.
