Leica Ding gets half-kilo penalty for Melbourne Cup

The Darren Weir-trained Leica Ding has been penalised a half-kilo (0.5kg) for the $5.65m Melbourne Cup after her narrow win in the Grp 3 2400m Geelong Cup. She now has 50.5kgs and is raised from 67th to 31st on the order of entry. Handicapper Greg Carpenter says: 'The Geelong Cup was a genuinely-run race on quick ground and Leica Ding gave a strong staying performance to beat a very competitive field.'
