Wil super-stayerl Viewed cop a penalty in the Melbourne Cup for his Caulfield Cup win? It'll be a miracle if he doesn't. Trainer Bart Cummings says he isn't expecting a big penalty..but at least he's prepared for one. Viewed had 53kgs in last year's Melbourne Cup win and has 57kg this year. The handicapper is likely to penalise him at least a kilo. Bart says: 'He had a lucky run today because he got stuck to the fence. He might get a half a kilo, at the worst he might get a kilo.'

The two UK raiders were flops in the Caulfield Cup. Godolphin's Kirklees ran 7th and the Luca Cumani-trained Cima De Triomphe was a soundly-btn 13th. Headline-hype horse Predatory Pricer was backed from $8 on course to start favourite at $7 but he was caught four wide and weakened to finish 12th. New Zealand mare Daffodil ran on well to finish fourth.
