From the history for the last 20 Mel Cup races, was the winner a last time out winner before they won the Mel Cup?.

Do you mean did the winner of the Cup win their previous start? The Diva would have surely?

Im gonna jump on the Tawqueet Band Wagon... i reckong he'll win the Melb Cup... Looks like a smart horse, will relax then explode when told to..

Hayes has been kicking ass all year and he will clean up most of the big races this spring... Might even do a 'Melb Cup-Cox Plate' with Tawqueet-Miss Finland..
