Melbourne Cup Day 10-Race Tips - TO HELP YOU HAVE A PROFITABLE DAY! (WITH A $51 ROUGHIE IN THE LAST)

Summary

This video is a pre-race tipping preview for Melbourne Cup Day at Flemington, not a report of completed races. The presenter says the tips were recorded on Friday, so horses may be scratched or odds may change before race day. No results or in-race timings are given.

Race Tips

Race 1 – Maribyrnong Plate, 1,000m

The presenter points to Royal Press as the only runner with race experience, noting his debut behind Salty. La La Lilly is also considered, partly because of the Hayes stable’s record with debutants, though the presenter notes that fillies have not often won this race. He considers both runners.

Race 2 – Benchmark 80, 2,000m

Federer is the value pick at around $18. The presenter says he has won at Flemington and over 2,000m, and compares favourably with Politely Done, whom he previously finished behind while carrying more weight.

Race 3 – TAB Trophy, 1,800m

Gilgaius is the main selection at double-digit odds, after finishing fourth in a stakes race the previous week. Tommy Berry takes the ride. Fringilla is another possibility, with the presenter expecting the return to 1,800m to suit.

Race 4 – Three-Year-Olds’ Race, 1,000m

The presenter likes Payton (also transcribed as “Peyton”), citing a win at Gosford and a respectable fifth in the Roman Consul. Strike Package is the value alternative. Mark Zahra retains the ride, and the presenter notes the horse’s fast closing 400m on debut.

Race 5 – Benchmark 96, 2,800m

Autumn Heath is the main pick after back-to-back wins, including a strong performance at Caulfield. Berjaya, a fourth reserve, is the alternative if it gets a start. Its 53kg weight and progression through longer distances are seen as advantages.

Race 6 – Listed Race, 1,800m

The presenter selects Sabraj, believing the distance and Flemington will suit. Magnus Spero is also mentioned as a potentially attractive price, although a wide barrier is a concern.

Race 7 – Group 1 Melbourne Cup

The presenter directs viewers to a separate preview and gives no selection in this video.

Race 8 – Amanda Elliott Stakes, 1,400m

Rnascent is the clear preference after an impressive Cranbourne win and an easy victory against older horses. The presenter expects the return to its age group and a lower weight to help.

Race 9 – Group 3 Hong Kong Jockey Club Stakes, 1,400m

Terra Lace is the main pick after a strong finish alongside Concord Connie in the Tristarc, with Willie Pike staying aboard. You Sexy Thing is suggested as a long-priced option. The presenter hopes it can settle near the lead from barrier three.

Race 10 – Benchmark 90, 1,400m

The standout roughie is Furrivia, quoted at $51. The presenter compares her earlier close finish to Space Rider and thinks the market has overreacted to her latest run. A lighter weight, third-up fitness and Jamie Kah’s booking are cited as reasons to expect improvement.
