Form expert backs Trustyourinstinct as best Melbourne Cup chance
Analyst David Gately tips Trustyourinstinct as his Melbourne Cup pick despite Point of Law's recent Geelong Cup win.
Form analyst David Gately made his Melbourne Cup call for Tuesday's race, backing Trustyourinstinct ahead of the favourite Point of Law. Although history works against a three-year-old winning the Cup, Point of Law impressed in the Geelong Cup.
Gately said jockey James McDonald's current form helps Trustyourinstinct. He also noted the horse has won in big fields before.
Point of Law is Gately's second choice. He flagged Shockletz as the pick of the local runners.
He included Middle Earth and So You Are as each-way chances in the 24-horse field.
