Tom's tip for the Cup...Big-betting bookie Tom Waterhouse is a Shocking fan. He reckons the Mark Kavanagh trained last-start winner is way over the odds.

He looks as though he is going to start at great odds on the tote though.'

Sportingbet Australia boss Michael Sullivan reported a bet yesterday of $35,000 at $5.50 on Alcopop, and he thinks the South Australian could start favourite. He says: 'I always expected the Bart Cummings factor would ensure Viewed ran favorite but the money we are seeing come for Alcopop could well change that.'
