Who's watching/punting on the Melbourne cup this year?

Great form guide over here: http://www.horseracing.com.au/news/complete-2013-melbourne-cup-form-guide/

Tom Waterhouse just posted this list of his top 5 bets, in the last few years he has been pretty accurate.
1.Tres Blue
2.Fiorente
3.VoleuseDeCoeurs
4.Foreteller
5.Hawkspur

Tres Blue would be the only one in that list I would put money on... Seville is my favourite.

I am waiting for the Macquarie Bank form guide, usually worth a look.

Well i normally back a horse that has at least placed at the distance, alongside with two others in a box trifecta as well, this year i just picked my lucky number ... 8

The only one that has sparked my interest is Brown Panther - but let's see what happens with The Sweep (always back what you draw in The Sweep)

well I haven't bet on the MC for 30+ years ! and most times I even forget it exists !

but today I remembered so I watched it on tv and I have not read ANYTHING about it so I say to myself " I pick number 6 " , well the bloody thing wins !!!

at $7.00

anyway, didn't have a bet so it doesn't matter.

it would be great if somehow "movember" and the MC could combine, that would be a HUGE thing for a good result I think.

Aparentley it had a little tranquilizer before the race just sure things up. Had the same horse, no idea where it came spaceman.
