Bookmaker Palmerbet’s Mail Bag Bets – Melbourne Cup 2021

Online bookmaker Palmerbet takes a look at Tuesday’s Melbourne Cup which is dominated by the short priced favourite Incentivise. See who their traders are backing and laying in both races and read their race write-ups.

MELBOURNE CUP

The race that stops the nation every first Tuesday of November takes place at Flemington racecourse over the famous two miles each year since 1861 when Archer traveled from Nowra to take the first ever running.

There is so much mystique with this years running as the boom Queenslander INCENTIVISE comes south with an amazing list of wins since winning a Sunshine Coast maiden back in April. Made his Victorian debut in the G1 Makybe Diva over the 1600m at Flemington and Brett Prebble jumped him to the front and he fought them off for soft win in the end.

He back up winning the Turnbull over the 2000m before a dominant display in the Caulfield Cup when he sprinted away after doing some work and won with something in hand.

It is hard to see them beating him and he is a well-deserved Palmerbet favourite.

Looking to find something at nice odds besides the favourite have settled on the Chris Waller trained GRET HOUSE who pounced from the back with a well-timed run to win the Hotham Handicap here on Saturday.

Should be at peak fitness coming off that hit out and at the odds on Palmerbet happy to have something on him at each way odds to sneak into a placing.
