Capital cheval (1) defied a market drift to win in dominant fashion on melbourne cup day.He was scratched from a poor stall last friday night, but in the smallish field, you’d expect he would go around here despite not drawing perfectly.Mihoko takeo (5) also came out of the same race, eventually won by the roughie co accused.She maps to find the front with relative ease, and any track pattern will be well and truly established by now. set weights oop there it is (3) is yet another runner to be in and out of the form guides since she last raced.She disappointed as favourite there, but it was a tactically run affair in a small field, and she was asked to do a lot from off the pace.Perkins (6) had market support at a price last week and was a bit better than it reads on paper.Expensive mistake (8) was good three runs back at his first start for john blacker, but subsequent performances have dropped away.
