There will be plenty of action as the big field tries to get a spot in the Big Dance on Melbourne Cup day. Plenty of depth in this race with Waterhouse Bott gallopers FOR VALOUR and JOURNALISM setting the chasers a task from out in the lead. JOURNALISM gets up to his preferred 1600m second-up and could be the horse to beat right down in the weights. LION'S ROAR and ARMAYO have the class to figure if they get luck from the wide barriers. FLYING CRAZY (slow beginner), SPANGLER (slow beginner), HAIL MANHATTAN and KING OF THE CASTLE all in the mix too.
