Birdman is the current favourite for the G1 Australian Cup
The feature race at Flemington on Saturday is the 2026 Australian Cup where it’s a wide open field with the favourite Birdman currently a $3.00 chance with online bookmakers.
Waller is set to line-yp two horses in the race with favourite Birdman as well as Leica Lucy who is at $8.
Maher is the other who is likely to have multiple horses in the race with Light Infantry Ma and Pride Of Jenni both set to take their place in the race.
