Verdict

Magic Circle performed too poor to be true in the Melbourne Cup last time and the way in which he won this race last year is still fresh in the memory. However, it will be tough to carry top-weight to victory here and a chance is taken on FUN MAC who may be able to return to form. He's run well in the last two renewals of this race and looks very well-handicapped on some of that form. There's a host of runners in with a chance but the most likely candidates look like Cleonte and Austrian School who are both well in after career best performances last time out.
  1. Fun Mac
