Melbourne Cup Tips

We have been following events very closely in Australia and there have been a number of pointers suggesting that the clamour for a Septimus win is cooling down. Luca Cumani, trainer of our tip, Mad Rush, has been suggesting that Septimus is the one to beat, has not been deterred from being enthusiastic about his two runners. Many are suggesting that if Cumani believes that Septimus will win , why is he continuing his quest to go one better than he did last season with Purple Moon. His horse Mad Rush is reported to be in fine form as is his other entry, Bauer, who was fourth in the recent Caulfield Cup. Cumani is one of the shrewdest trainers in the business and as such we are tipping Mad Rush to win the race.

Melbourne Cup Tips - What to look for

Horse racing and horse racing tips go hand in hand. The general belief of the punter is that in every race someone, somewhere has the inside track on who will win and to a large extent they are right. It is obvious that trainers and jockeys have a good idea about the form of the their horse coming into a race, they will also have an idea concerning the relative form of their opposition; usually however, this is where the information flow stops.

It is quite natural for trainers to share this information with owners and connections of the individual horses and it is therefore natural for connections to back the judgement of their trainers. This will most certainly apply to Melbourne Cup trainers. It is what connections do with that information that can change the betting on any race. If they put the information out to friends etc it could create a betting pattern which Bookmakers are usually quick to combat by shortening the odds of that particular horse and thus making bets sometimes much less attractive to those not in the know. It is why market movers are closely monitored by astute punters. That said by taking advantage of a Melbourne Cup Free bet, the cost is kept to a minimum.

There are any number of tipping lines all offering best tips but it is rare that a punter will claim consistent success.

One of the creators of this web site has had the good fortune to be employed at the yard of a top trainer. He would advise you that very often the information that comes from within a yard itself is more often than not, confusing in the extreme. It is because every member of the yard usually has a different opinion about their horses chances.

The advice therefore we have for you is to trust your own judgement, this could perhaps simply mean selecting a horse because of its name, but always remember one thing it is your money your using and no one elses.
