Benalla race meeting cancelled today due to a mystery wet patch in the straight, 200m from the finish line. Lots of those involved are upset, given that they had to travel on a Victorian public holiday. Discussions are ongoing regarding whether it's abandoned or rescheduled.

Grand Parade earns ballot exemption, courtesy of winning the Bart Cummings. Master Of Wine passes the first ballot clause and will likely finish up in around 40th position in the Order of Entry.

"Grand Promenade and Montefilia have both been penalised a kilo by Racing Victoria's chief handicapper Greg Carpenter, lifting their handicaps to 52kg for the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups following Group victories last Saturday.

Grand Promenade is exempt from the Melbourne Cup ballot after winning the G3 Bart Cummings (2500m) at Flemington last weekend. He has moved to 39th in the Caulfield Cup order of entry with the weight penalty.

His kilo penalty is the same handed to the previous two winners of the Bart Cummings, Surprise Baby (2020) and Persan (2021), who both went on to finish fifth in the Melbourne Cup after bypassing the Caulfield Cup.

G1 Metropolitan Handicap (2400m) winner Montefilia is guaranteed a start in the Cups, moving to ninth in the Caulfield Cup order of entry and 10th in the Melbourne Cup."
