Horse races are extremely popular in Australia, as 1.2 million bettors wagered on horse racing during 2018-2019.
With 23 horses competing in the 2021 Melbourne Cup, placing the right bet is no easy feat. So, before heading down to your favourite sportsbook or opening your go-to betting app, read through what form analysts have to say for this year’s race.
Namely, Incentivise ($3) will beat his competitors over 3200 meters, however at very short odds. Furthermore, last year’s champion Twilight Payment ($13) and USA’s Spanish Mission ($10) are also among favourites.
Floating Artist ($14) is expected to have thinner chances in the annual competition, whereas Explosive Jack ($34) is more likely to win, as he will be competing on his favourite dry track this time.
