Puissance De Lune ($8) heads a strong contingent of Australian-trained gallopers
Puissance De Lune ($8) heads a strong contingent of Australian-trained gallopers in the first 2013 Melbourne Cup market released by TAB.com.au.
The Darren Weir-trained runner is top elect on the back of a stellar spring including an effortless win in the Group 2 Queen Elizabeth Stakes, with Glenn Boss declaring him “the 2013 Melbourne Cup winner”, despite the race being 12 months away.
He returned from a break to dead heat in the Blamey Stakes (1600m) at Flemington in March and then underwent a minor operation to remove bone chips from a fetlock.
“He has a devastating turn of foot and on what he did last spring will be popular with our punters,” says TAB’s Glenn Munsie.
“Punters now know a lot of the runners in the top of the market which will help stimulate interest.”
Fiorente ($13) and Mount Athos ($15) are the next two in the market with both looking to improve on their 2012 efforts; both finished second and fifth respectively.
The current crop of three-year-olds including: It’s A Dundeel ($15), Fiveandahalfstar ($41) and Super Cool ($41) are all in the early mix.
Green Moon is $26 to win back-to-back Melbourne Cups.
It is the earliest tab.com.au has ever released a market on the Melbourne Cup.
Bets taken on any runner who is then not nominated for the race will be refunded.
