Melbourne Cup Odds and Tips: Focus On Hawkspur
October 26th, 2013 by Pom de TurfAs of today, Hawkspur is sitting with Dandino and Mount Athos as joint-second-favourite for the Melbourne Cup, all of them a tempting $10.00. But trainer Chris Waller will be hoping that Hawkspur can come good for him on the 5th, and improve on a Caulfield Cup run that saw him in seventh place.
The jockey for the Caulfield, Jim Cassidy, commented immediately afterwards that Hawkspur had finished the race strong, and he has since said that he’s not interested in swapping away his ride on Hawkspur for the Melbourne Cup. Waller was a little more cagey about one of his best chances for a Cup win: ‘he’s good enough to be in the Melbourne Cup, the question is now whether he runs the two miles. We will take that punt that he will.’ The prevailing opinion is that it’ll be better than a punt, and there will be plenty of people putting money on Hawkspur between now and November 5th. $10.00 seems like a decent return on a great horse with a good chance to take the Melbourne Cup…
