Has the Moudre bubble burst? There's definitely a cloud over the country-trained stayer after his lacklustre run for 4th in Sat's Herbert Power 2400m. He needed to win to sneak into the Caulfield Cup field but after racing well back to the turn there was no zip when Craig Williams pressed the go-button. Trainer Ciaron Maher is undecided on his next move. He says: 'I'll see how he pulls up before making any decisions. There's the Geelong Cup or the Lexus. If he'd been beaten half a length you would say maybe that being caught wide cost him, but he was beaten on his merits. Craig says they skipped away on the turn and when he pressed him he didn't have the same ping.' In the latest betting for the Melbourne Cup, Moudre is out to 40/1.
