Year: 2022

The Ciaron Maher & David Eustace-trained Interpretation was one of the final qualifiers for the 2022 Melbourne Cup. The four-year-old has long been aimed towards a start in the great race, but his recent form has suggested he might be up against it in a race like this. This son of Galileo is a natural front-runner, so will need to find the front early on. Could Interpretation cause an upset in the Melbourne Cup? When will Interpretation run in the Melbourne Cup? The Melbourne Cup will be run on the…

Montefilia is set to line up in her first Melbourne Cup in the 2022 edition of the race for trainer David Payne and jockey Jason Collett. The five-year-old mare was without a doubt the eye-catching run in the Caulfield Cup when storming home from the rear of the field to be beaten just over a length. Her run in the Caulfield Cup looked to be the perfect Melbourne Cup trial and considering she is already a four-time Group 1 winner and proven on rain-affected going, Montefilia has a strong chance…

The Robert Hickmott-trained Serpentine will be the first of the Lloyd Williams owned runners in saddle cloth order in this year’s Melbourne Cup. Serpentine will be one of the main speed influences, as he has lead in all of his races in Australia since arriving here. His last start second in the Archer Stakes over 2500m at Flemington was his best performance to date in Australia. When will Serpentine run in the Melbourne Cup? The Melbourne Cup will be run on the first Tuesday in November at Flemington in front…

The Phillip Stokes-trained Daqiansweet Junior will be one of the horses who is a proven stayer, with all bar one of his wins coming at 2000m plus. Daqiansweet Junior ran third in the Sydney Cup back in April of this year, however, that is the last time that he has finished in the placings. During his spring campaign, Daqiansweet Junior has not finished any better than seventh at his three starts. When will Daqiansweet Junior run in the Melbourne Cup? The Melbourne Cup will be run on the first Tuesday…

High Emocean was a smart winner in the Group 3 Bendigo Cup and gets her chance to claim the 2022 Melbourne Cup as a lightweight. The six-year-old mare is one of five runners for the Ciaron Maher & David Eustace barn and if she can see out the 3200m, she is a genuine top 10 chance in the Melbourne Cup on recent from. The Ocean Park mare has won two of her last three starts, with her only failure coming in The Bart Cummings when finishing sixth, beaten 1.4-lengths by…

The Robert Hickmott-trained Point Nepean won his way into the 2022 Melbourne Cup when claiming The Andrew Ramsden Stakes during the autumn. Having strung together three straight wins during his autumn campaign, Point Nepean was touted as a genuine winning hope in the Melbourne Cup. However, Point Nepean has been a shadow of his former self so far this spring campaign, beaten close to five-lengths to High Emocean first-up and only managed to beat one runner home in the Group 2 Herbert Power Stakes at Caulfield on October 8, beaten…

The Ciaron Maher & David Eustace-trained Gold Trip has long been touted as a potential Melbourne Cup horse and he gets his chance to compete in the 2022 Melbourne Cup. Having finished a narrow second in the Caulfield Cup two starts back, the six-year-old simply had no luck in the Cox Plate last time out when finishing ninth of 12. He needs to carry the topweight of 57.5kg in the Cup and despite having just one win to his name so far in his career, Gold Trip is deemed to…
