I'm not much of a horse punter. I did jag a 2$ trifecta that paid over 1300$ many years ago with a few other uninspiring wins over the years. I did used to go pretty good on the sweepstakes Mum's work would hold every year on Melb Cup day. She always put me in it , bless her.

This year, a mate of mine has talked my brother and I into chucking 50$ each into the ring and doing a heap of boxed first4 bets (i think?).
Now that the field is set, I'm lookin for some tips and/or any other strategies you blokes might have. I used to like boxing 4 for a trifecta.
Anyway, any helpful hints, tips would be appreciated and if any get up, I'll be sure to come back here to let you knpw what a legend you are.
Good luck to you all. cheers n thanks.

Edit: boxed.

Vauban 2.5L off Kyprios last start and he meets this field 7 kilos lighter?? Set for the race again and has been trained much differently after melting down last year. Great form, bugger all weight, decent draw, gets cooler weather, overs price imo.
I know it’s boring but him and Buckeroo are far and away the top picks for me.
I’ll be chucking Land Legend, Zardozi, Warp Speed, Interpretation, St George and Mostly Cloudy in my exotics.
Best of luck gentlemen!!

Starting to lean into that metrop form now too. Agree about Buckeroo. I reckon the track might be a bit hard for some of the overseas horses.

gonna back Land Legend and hope it settles.

My top 4 picks if they are worth anything.

sea King
One Smooth bald son of a bitch
Land Legend
Vauban

Zardozi and the Warp speed are going in as well.
Buckeroo had to be a doubt the distance and that barrier is aids.

If you saw JMs horror show in the previous & you’ve already unloaded on Buck you’d be slightly concerned surely…

I’m terrible at this…. But my pick is sea king. Also think okita soushi will run a big one.

best roughie for me is fancy man. Caulfield cup run was actually pretty good.

Honestly sometimes you just give up with punting. Honestly should have been 200-1 but somehow wins.

Sired by Extreme Choice who could barely run 1100m.

You can only laugh.
