MELBOURNE CUP CARNIVAL COUNTRY FINAL
Incredibly open. EUPHORIC (2) just gets the nod. He's a smart horse who resumed over 1500m at Geelong and ran on strongly to score, booking his way into this race. He's lightly raced and should only improve fitness wise. VON HAUKE (17) comes through the same Geelong race, starting $3 on that occasion. Gets a soft run here and with even luck he'll be very hard to hold out. ROGUE ROCKER (6) split the pair at Geelong and good prior at Caulfield. Perhaps a small query at this trip but must be considered a chance. POISON CHALICE (8) has built a very good record, starting odds-on at his past two starts, winning the latest at Murtoa. Drawn wide but gets McDonald on and can run a big race. DELICIOUS TYCOON (13) is racing very well and is in the mix.
