It's Melbourne Cup time again, here are my tips for the Trifecta @$336.00 for 1 unit or $168 for 50%

Good luck everyone:

1. Big Orange @$15, why? came 5th last year beaten 2.5 length and last start won the Goodwood Cup 3,200M

6. Hartnell @$5, second best horse in Australia at the moment and beat Jameka by 3 lengths in the Turnbull.

8. Wicklow Brave @$15, won the Irish St Ledger 2,800M beating Order of St George who then ran 3rd in the Arc

12. Jameka @8.00 - my personal tip to win the Cup, I hope. Won the Caulfield Cup by 3 lengths, no horses from behind could beat her.

13. Heartbreak City @$16 - Won the Ebor 2,800 at York by 4 lengths

17. Almandin @$13 - in good form, sired by Monsun who has already produced two Cup winners in Fiorente and Protectionist plus Kerrin McEvoy.

20. Oceanographer @$7.50 - two big runs in the Geelong Cup and Lexus, rock hard fit ! Meet Hearbreak City 7 kg better

23. Qewy @$23 - Won the Geelong Cup leading from the front
