With the Melbourne Cup’s massive field and incredible pool sizes, the trifecta and first four dividends can reach staggering heights. Last year’s trifecta paid an impressive $10,668, and the first four was an extraordinary $332,291. Here’s how we’re approaching the 2024 Melbourne Cup with a few key tips and strategies.

BEST WINNING CHANCES
15. SEA KING
Sea King was a standout in the Bendigo Cup, where he won convincingly. While he hasn’t proven himself over longer distances in the UK, his Bendigo performance shows he’s rock-hard fit and well-placed in the weights for this race. His international form suggests he could be a significant player here.
2. BUCKAROO
Buckaroo is in outstanding form and arguably the classiest horse in this year’s lineup. He finished a strong second in the Caulfield Cup, closing powerfully behind Duke De Sessa. Although the distance is a question, if he handles it well, he’s a major threat. His current form makes him a top contender, but he’ll need some luck from his barrier draw.
4. WARP SPEED
I think dismiss Warp Speed at your peril. He’s a top class Japanese stayer and I feel just forget his Caulfield Cup run. He was ridden like it was a barrier trial and was never a factor but his late splits weren’t too bad. Much better horse on firmer footing, bigger track and up in trip, with his Japanese form, I think he’s going to run a beauty.
17. FANCY MAN
I thought Fancy Man was the better runs of the race in the Caulfield Cup outside of Buckaroo. He hit the line well making ground late suggesting the rise in trip will suit him. His overseas form was more than good enough to win this race and a mixed bag of results in Australia means he will start at a massive price.
