I have Melbourne Cup betting tips to enjoy for Tuesday's racing at Morphettville and Flemington. Billy Bones has caught my eye in Race 3 at Morphettville. Also, for my roughie bet, I've got my eye on Newfoundland in Race 5 at Flemington. The track conditions at Morphettville and Flemington are looking good for racing, the track is a good 4 at this stage. Let's get into it!

Best Tip: Billy Bones #1 Morphettville R3

Billy Bones debuted with a minor placing at this track last month and I think he can get his first win in this race. I liked his finish in that race as he ran on well. So I think he should enjoy the extra distance this time over 1200m. Jockey Todd Pannell is back on board and looking to continue the momentum from their first race together. Should get a good run from the 6 Barrier and I like the odds to have a crack at the win.

Best Roughie: Newfoundland #10 Flemington R5

In its last race at Warwick Farm on October 16, it came out on top with a winning margin of 0.3 lengths. It was carrying 60.5kg and held off Tajanis (57kg), which was pretty good to watch at $2.60 odds. So, it's looking in good touch for this race. Before that, Newfoundland finished first at Rosehill in a BM72 on October 2, 2024 over 2400m. I think it's a real genuine each way chance.

Stats and Insights

  • Flemington's long straight track can sometimes favour horses drawn towards the inside or outside of the track, depending on the rail position and prevailing track conditions. Betting on horses that suit the current track bias can be advantageous.
  • Jockey Mark Zahra is one to watch at the track on Tuesday at Flemington Racecourse. He has favourites in Race 1 and Race 6.
  • The first 3-4 races in most meetings are called "Maidens" and these races are usually risky and unpredictable. This is because the runners are usually making their debut or have only had a few starts. So it's advisable to stay from these races unless you have a good bankroll.
