I reckon my tip for the Caulfield Cup Humidor will win the Melbourne Cup - he looked great today. A great second place to the invincible Winx and the extra distance will suit him
Humidor is on a very similar form line to a previous Cup winner in Fiorente. Although he has no 2400 winning form , he wasn't far away from the Caulfield Cup and did run second to Jameka in the BMW in Sydney - basically , if he stays the two miles - he should win - and the breeding ticks all the boxes too , his grandsire Galileo is very successful in producing group 1 stayers. He is out of a Zabeel mare and has 4 crosses from Northern Dancer . You couldn't find a better bred stayers !

So brother Rooter, I agree, bet up on Humidor ! But I wonder if Weir will keep Blake Shinn on ? He already won one on Viewed for Bart Cummings !
