Sal’s updated Melbourne Cup preview including quaddie and tips for other races

This follows on from Sal’s earlier preview which you can read HERE

 

 

Top of Cup Day Morning to you all,

 

A couple of scratchings and at typo in the Quaddie so here is an update along with selections for the other seven races on a typically very difficult Cup Day.  For the record at yesterday’s Cup Eve Lunch from memory chief handicapper Greg Carpenter picked Almandin (2) to go back-to-back then Marmelo (5), Humidor (3) and Hartnell (1) while RV Racing Operations Manager thought the Cup will go overseas and that Marmelo (5) is the pick of the raiders.

  1. Crikey Sal, I hope you structured your betting in the last leg of the quaddie.

    What were the approximates for 3,5.

    I thought the 3 would get there. How’s the ticker?
