Tom Melbourne is the short priced favourite for Saturday's Lord Mayors Cup

You’ll have to be a brave soul this Saturday in the Lord Mayors Cup (1600m) at Eagle Farm because Tab.com.au has opened cult hero Tom Melbourne a short priced elect in the Group lll contest.

The Chris Waller trained galloper ran a game second two weeks back in the Members Handicap at Doomben and now at WFA against moderate opposition, ratings wise, he looks hard to beat. The thrill seekers are out in force early because his $2.30 opening price was taken quickly and touched $2.05 before drifting back out to his opening price.

That has forced Lite’n In My Veins and Le Juge to ease half a point from their opening quotes of $7.00 and $6.50 respectively. If you’re looking for value, Articus ($21) was good first up over an unsuitable trip.

TIP 💡: If you are going to back Tom Melbourne. Bet with BetEasy’s Bet Return product. Stake Back on 2nd or 3rd!
