He describes it as the “DEFINITIVE MELBOURNE CUP PREVIEW”.
It’s 17 pages of in-depth analysis where the author - prominent Melbourne Barrister Sandip Mukerjea - describes himself as punting royalty.
It’s why he carries the self-proclaimed nickname of the “Cups King’’, even if he is better known as one of Australia’s top media law experts. Thankfully, his strike rate tipping winners is as good as his record in court.
The full Cup Preview is below. But in short, Mukerjea believes six golden rules when it comes to picking the Cup winner.
- Horses that have run in the Cup before should be dismissed.
- Ignore raiders that haven’t had a lead-up Australian run.
- Avoid the 3YOs and 7YOs if you can.
- Totally avoid a runner 8YO or older.
- Derby and Oaks winners should be dismissed.
- His last rule seems rather obvious – find the best-weighted horse with suitable form who can run the trip’.
