The Main Contenders


Campbell and Sharkie's discussion centres on the prominent horses in the race, with particular emphasis on their form and odds.

Suum (Horse No. 6): Sharkie places Suum at the top of his list. Despite a tendency to start slow, Suum's performances in the Heatherly, Underwood, and Turnball races indicate strong form. Sharkie believes Flemington suits Suum better than Corfield and with Joe Morera as the jockey, Suum is a strong contender.

Vin (Horse No. 5): Both experts agree on Vin's potential. His Ascot run and nce win showcase his class. Handicapped as a group three winner, Vin is believed to be more of a group one horse, making him a solid pick for the race.

Gold Trip (Horse No. 1): Gold Trip is another favorite, with significant backing from both Campbell and Sharkie. With a reputable jockey like Ryan Moore, Gold Trip is expected to finish strong.

Absurde (Horse No. 6): As Vin's stablemate, Absurde shouldn't be overlooked. Though not the top pick, both experts agree that Absurde could be a dark horse in the race.

Long Odds Picks


For those looking for a high-reward bet, Sharkie suggests:

Dash and Sweet Junior (Horse No. 12): Cited as a potential surprise, Dash and Sweet Junior had a strong showing in last year's Cup. With promising form and an advantageous draw, this horse could significantly boost trifecta or first four bets.
The Impact of Jockey Bookings

The experts highlight the importance of jockey bookings. They mention elite jockeys like J. McK, Joe Morera, and Ryan Moore, indicating that their presence could influence the outcome of the race.


Summary


Verdict Suum (Horse No. 6)
Vin (Horse No. 5)
Gold Trip (Horse No. 1)
Absurde (Horse No. 6)
Long Odds Pick: Dash and Sweet Junior (Horse No. 12)
