Michelle Payne might well secure a Melbourne Cup mount when she rides the Jane Chapple-Hyam-trained Judgethemoment in Thursday's Grp 2 Goodwood Cup (3200m) in England. The popular jockey is on a working holiday riding in the UK and Ireland in recent weeks and has already ridden a winner for Chapple-Hyam at Warwick on July 9. On Saturday, she was a close 2nd on the Luca Cumani trained Spook 9/1 in a 2000m race at York. Spook lost by a head. Chapple-Hyam says a Melbourne Cup bid by Judgethemoment

Chapple-Hyam says a Melbourne Cup bid by Judgethemoment is being seriously considered, and Michelle will be offered the ride.
