Last years Melbourne Cup winner as well as this years Caulfield Cup winner Dunaden will carry the top weight in the Melbourne Cup with 59kg although this is only a 1kg more than what he carried to victory in the Caulfield Cup. Yet to be beaten in Australia from three runs he looks the one that all other runners will have to beat. Has drawn awkwardly in barrier 16 and with the big weight that might be a query although you cant fault winning form and Craig Williams will give him every possible chance.
