Hi Equine,
Beekeeper is in good form,so is Vinnie Roe.The Melbourne Cup is a handicap,too tricky to get involved with.A bit like our Grand National Steeplechase.
Vinnie Roe would be thereabouts.He's a top notch stayer,equal of Vintage Crop.Depends if he gets a nice racing weight.If he carries a similar weight to Vintage did to win then get on him!!Beekeeper is a class below Vinnie Roe so will need to get weight from him.My bet would be Vinnie Roe to finish in the frame.
Grandera is the reason I cheched out this forum.He will want a strong pace,maybe Godolphin will run a pacemaker.
