Grp 3 Lexus Stakes winner Kelinni will not be penalised for the Melbourne Cup following his strong win over the 2500m trip. Racing Victoria chief handicapper Greg Carpenter says Kelinni meets Glencadam Gold 1.5kgs better at the weights for his 3.25 lens length defeat in the Metropolitan Handicap. "Because of that we've decided not to increase his weight from the 51kgs he currently has," says Carpenter. Glen Boss is tipped to land the ride on Kelinni.LATEST MELBOURNE CUP MARKET(TAB pric

Betstar's Alan Eskander says Zydeco stamped herself the one to beat in the Crown Oaks with an authorative win in the Wakeful 2000m at Flemington. He told PPD: "This filly should have no problem stretching out to the 2500m of the Oaks and is now a $2.30 favorite for the race; as much as $26 was bet when this market was first opened...Backers of Dear Demi are lamenting what might have been as she was stuck behind them for the majority of the straight without ever really getting clear. It's hard to say she would have won the race, but she definitely should have finished closer...Nothing has really changed through the running of the Wakeful Stakes; the two main chances for the Oaks going in remain the two main chances coming out."
