Melbourne Cup Favourites 2022
Realm of Flowers
#24 | Barrier 5 | Odds $10
Very light, good on softs, can stay all day and is running from the most successful barrier (5).
This horse has been racing in Sydney in the lead-up and will be rock hard fit to run a big race.
One to include in all trifectas and is a good chance to win the Melbourne Cup.
Other favourites
- Deaville Legend #8
- Without a Fight #6
