The 2022 Kennedy Champions Mile is a Group One 1600 middle distance event run on the last day of the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
Private Eye (barrier five) makes his way down from Sydney in outstanding form, winning the Nature Strip Stakes last start and prior had finished second in The Everest. He is an Epsom winner so he runs out the mile strong.
Cascadian (barrier 11) has won his last two starts and is a Grand Final horse, as we saw when he won the All Aged Stakes in April this year.
Alligator Blood (barrier three) won the Underwood Stakes three starts back and last time ran a bold fifth in the Cox Plate.
My Oberon (barrier seven) was the winner of the Crystal Mile at The Valley last start while Tuvalu (barrier eight) can't be discounted after winning the Toorak Handicap last start.
