Following on from Saturday's dominant showing in the Group III at Flemmington, Lexus Stakes winner Shocking has had his odds slashed from $26 to $12 for the Melbourne Cup and is thus far the best supported runner since Saturday night's barrier draw.
However that being said, the horse that defeated Shocking at two of his three prior starts, Alcopop ($5.50) remains the backers elect favourite, slightly ahead last year's Cup winner Viewed ($5.60). Also amongst the favourites is another from the Cummings' stable, Roman Emperor, solid in the Final Field Market at $9.40.
Other horses worth a look include Danny O'Brien's remaining hope, Master O'Reilly ($15); Daffodil ($18) and Basaltico ($44).
