We kick off 10 races on Melbourne Cup day with a typically tough 2yo affair. Most of these are on debut and they likely hold the key, with the raced form strong but certainly not unbeatable. Loved the jumpout win of CARNEVALE (4), a colt by Pinatubo out of the good mare Fiesta for the Hayes yard who have a knack of winning these early 2yo races. Zahra hops aboard and he should take plenty of beating. BRAZEN DECHAMBEAU (3) is a Brazen Beau colt for the Price & Kent Jnr yard who looked good winning a Cranbourne jumpout. Expecting him to run well. TALES OF TIME (7) is another Pinatubo colt, for Clinton McDonald. He was given a quiet time when closing well in a recent jumpout, market will be key with this stable. DIAMETER (5) is a Brazen Beat colt who has jumped out well and the Lane/Waller combination is worth respecting. LUNA VEGA (11) is a Lucky Vega filly who looked sharp in her recent jumpout win.
