Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival Form Guide
Putting together a Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival form guide can be an arduous task which is why we’ve done the hard work for you.
Arguably the world’s most famous racing carnival means you see top gallopers from around the globe and assessing the form can be tricky.
The Melbourne Cup is a race that draws horses from all around the world with form being extremely hard to read. Horses in recent times have come over to Australia without a start down under and taken out the race while others have needed a run under the belt.
Other events like Melbourne’s sprinting features have clear pathways that you can follow.
The Darley Classic is a sprinting race that is run as part of the Melbourne Cup Carnival and in 2017 Redzel took that event out after claiming The Everest’s first ever running in Sydney. The two events look like they could be linked going forward so following that form line will be very important.
As always though we’ll put the hard work in so all you have to do is follow the tips and cash the ticket.
