How should I spend my Melbourne Cup bonuses?

Superstar Australian Damian Oliver knows a thing or two (or three given he has finished first past the post in 1995, 2002 and 2013) about riding to victory on the first Tuesday of November, and the champion said there is ‘usually eight or so chances' in each year's Cup in any given year.

Thankfully for our readers we have narrowed it down to two.

Superstar Godolphin horse ($4.60 favourite at Sportsbet.com.au) and 2016 Caulfield Cup winner ($6.50 at Sportsbet.com.au) are the only two horses going into the race that stops a nation under double figures, and in our eyes; rightfully so.

Hartnell could not have had a better preparation leading into Tuesday, and while some punters will be deterred by the lacklustre second behind Winx in the Cox Plate we suspect the significant step up in journey was what John O'Shea had in mind at rather than getting the Plate win.

Jameka looked to be having an indifferent spring campaign after getting blown away by Cup combatant Hartnell just over a month ago but all that was forgotten once she streaked away to win the Caulfield Cup two weeks ago.

These two look the clear standouts going into Tuesday and it would take something monumental from the other competitors in our eyes to prise the Cup away from either of these champions. Those looking to go exotic with their bonus bet this Cup day could do a lot worse than a Hartnell/Jameka Melbourne Cup quinella bet.
