Who are we tipping in the Final field of 2015 Melbourne Cup?
Fame Game to win, Snow Sky for 2nd and Red Cadeaux for 3rd.
Why have we picked these?
Fame Game was always a great pick from the start however with Mongolian Khan out of the Melbourne Cup it has just strengthened the fact that Fame Game could definitely take out the Melbourne Cup in 2015. Mongolian Khan ended up being ruled out as a contender in the Melbourne Cup after developing colic during the week. Mongolian Khan was an excellent contender taking out both the New Zealand Derby and Australian Derby as a 3 year old and was one of the favourites to take out the Melbourne Cup. Fame Game is up there on class if you ask me.
Snow Sky is owned by Saudi Prince Khalid Abdullah and is also a dual Group 2 winner in England. While not as strong as the Japanese horse should finish very strong over the 3200 metres.
Red Cadeaux well what can we say? This horse runs a very strong race every year but manages to miss out on the big win in the Melbourne Cup every single year. I definitely wouldn’t be leaving Red Cadeaux out of my Trifectas and First Fours though as I expect another strong finish in 2015.
