Gold Trip Information
The defending champ that looks to be flying. His feet issues are seemingly under control and his form this time in has been outstanding. Brave third in the Caulfield Cup before backing up in the Cox Plate and his run was an absolute beauty in defeat. Proven performer and while he loses Zahra, he does get J Mac fresh off a Cox Plate win. Hard to beat, clearly, but I’d wait come jump time and you’ll get the best price. He’s a definite threat.

Key Replay: Melbourne Cup, November 1 2022, Flemington, Soft Surface
Thought it would be worthwhile to show this replay given that he is one of only a handful to be proven at 3200m. The field he beat last year was similar in terms of depth to what he faces on Tuesday, but the depth is very top heavy. But he smashed them here and was very dominant.
