It often provides a precursor as to who might take the 'Big One' come early morning, Tuesday, November 1.
Jameka (Nick Hall 9-1), powered into the record books as she took control of the Caulfield Cup, from a long way home, to obliterate Scottish (Kerrin McEvoy 16-1).
Scottish decided to leap in the air, then pull like a train for a typical hazardous ride. Therefore, he did really well to place ahead of Exospheric (Damien Oliver 7-2).
Almoonqith (Michael Walker 12-1), was held up at a crucial point, but, connections were pleased with his finishing energy, clocking 11.5 seconds for the final 200m.

At present, 39 entries have been received. Only twenty can face the tape, meaning, balloting-out is a certainty.
Automatic fever pitch is building hourly in anticipation of The popular Melbourne Cup when no-one is expected to work right round Australia.
