Last year's sixth returns for his second Lexus Melbourne Cup tilt. Only started four times since but has struggled on wet tracks and could improve significantly if he gets onto a firmer surface as he looks to be going well enough. Returns to his favourite track and this has looked a long-term aim. Champion Melbourne trainers Ciaron Maher and David Eustace send out Grand Promenade among five chances for their first Cup, while Group 1-winning rider Harry Coffey - whose success in the face of a cystic fibrosis diagnosis has inspired all - takes his second ride in the race.
