The 2019 Melbourne Cup will be run on Tuesday, November 5 at 3pm AEDT.

The Charlie Appleby-trained Cross Counter is the early the +1600 favourite at Sportsbet.com.au to go back-to-back while runner-up Marmelo is the next best at +2000.

While the futures market will provide superior odds in the lead up to the race, we caution punters that any bet in an ‘all-in’ market is a risk, given that almost all the horses are yet to cement their place in the final 24-horse field.
