An impressive list of internationals headed by Japanese stars Admire Ratki and Bande are among 148 entries for the Melbourne Cup.
The overseas entry of 31 horses also includes Red Cadeaux, the English-trained stayer expected to contest the race for the fourth time in a bid to improve on his runner-up finishes in 2011 and 2013.
Estimate, one of the Queen’s best racehorses, is also an entry.
Ireland’s two-time Melbourne Cup-winning trainer Dermot Weld has nominated Pale Mimosa while former jockey-turned-trained Johnny Murtagh has entered Mutual Regard and Royal Diamond.
Early favourite The Offer is one of three horses entered from Gai Waterhouse’s Tulloch Lodge as the Randwick trainer chases back-to-back Cup wins.
The $6.2 million Melbourne Cup will be run at Flemington on November 4.
