Jameka ($5.00) is equal favourite with Hartnell for the Melbourne Cup after her dominant victory in the Caulfield Cup on Saturday.

"After electing to bypass the Caulfield Cup there is so much focus on Hartnell and if he runs up to expectation in Saturday's Cox Plate he could regain Cup favouritism," says TAB’s Nick Quinn. “In what shapes as one of the most open Victorian Derbys in years, Rocketeer is now the outright $6.00 favourite following an eye catching run when runner-up in the Caulfield Classic behind Good Standing.”

Meanwhile, Tiamo Grace ($51 into $7.00) is the major firmer for the Oaks following her 2nd in the Ethereal Stakes.
