The Track: Flemington is racing headquarters in Victoria, a spacious track with sweeping turns and a long home straight. Most runners will have their chance in the home straight, even when the rail is out.

Melbourne Cup Track Bias, Barriers: The 3200m begins in a chute at the left hand side of the course leading in to the home straight. Maximum field is 24 runners with no emergencies. Barriers of little importance due to the distance involved. Difficult to lead all the way, fitness and weight are critical factors in the concluding stages.
