As is the case every year, there has been plenty of early action via Sportsbet.com.au for the Melbourne Cup (3200m) on Tuesday at Flemington.
The market is dominated by Caulfield Cup winner Incentivise, who is the $2.50 favourite, out from $2.30. He is still clearly best backed, but the push out is due to specking for a host of runners.
The only other runner at single figures is UK stayer Spanish Mission, who touched $9.50 from $7 but has been backed into $8.50. Defending champ Twilight Payment is $12 to $11 and has bee popular, likewise Herbert Power winner Delphi, ($41-$26) at a longer price.
