The Liston especially looks a cracking field, with a nice mixture of sprinters and middle distance horses resuming. Obviously there will be some attrition, but it should be a top race.

TAB Sportsbet have released their Melbourne Cup, Cox Plate and Caulfield Cup markets.

The Caulfield Cup sees VRC and WA Derby winner Plastered at $8, followed by Dizelle at $9. Hollow Bullet, She's Justa Tad, are at $15 , Perlin at $16, Xcellent (who I think is a lot better than his AJC Derby run) at $26, and 2003 winner Mummify at $31.

The Cox Plate has Makybe Diva at the ridiculous price of $5, Grand Armee at $7.50, with international gallopers Greys Inn at $13, and Vengeance of Rain (if it turns up, it is the one to beat) at $17.

The Melbourne Cup has Plastered at $7, Makybe Diva at $8, Dizelle at $10, Vinnie Roe at $11, and the foreign gallopers Disitnction at $13 and Westerner at $21.

Tomorrow's tips:

Warwick Farm

Race 6, no.2: Gunfire Messiah

The raps on this one were huge before he bowed his tendon. If he has got over the injury, he will win. If not, he won't. Definitely a risk, but the rewards are there.

Moonee Valley

Race 3, no.7: Anna's Choice

Daughter of 2001 Oakleigh Plate winner Miss Kournikova, by super hot sire Redoute's Choice. Cannot find any trial form, but one to watch purely based on the breeding.

So definitely no guarantees there, but certainly a bit of potential.
