Imported stayer Mustajeer was a notable absentee from Flemington's traditional Breakfast With The Stars on Tuesday morning after trainer Kris Lees switched his Melbourne Cup hope's work to Sandown.

Champion jockey Damien Oliver has made the decision to stick with his Caulfield Cup mount Mustajeer in Tuesday week's $8 million Melbourne Cup at Flemington.

Damien Oliver is set to get the first feel of his Caulfield Cup mount Mustajeer at Werribee this week.
