Ladbrokes and Skybet are both paying 5 places on the race that stops a nation - the Melbourne Cup. The race is off at 4am at Flemington.

Our team recommend getting with both JP Murtagh trained horses. The Irish know how to win this race and Murtagh has already shown he can ready one for a big occasion with remarkable potency.

Mutual Regard has everything in place, top form, a fair weight, top jockey and a decent draw so a big run is expected. Royal Diamond is the other one to keep on side. He's had a quiet season, but this has been the plan for a long time now and he can run well at a monster price from a decent draw.

Our Premium Racing service has been in fantastic form recently, with bundles of big priced winners over the last week.
