The Mad Rush Melbourne Cup odds have shortened slowly but surely as the big race looms ever closer. He now shares favouritism with the Aiden O'Brien trained Septimus at around the 4/1 mark. There have been concerns made about Septimus's participation in the race. Connections believe that the ground will be too firm and are saying that they will withdraw him if the track is not watered
Mad Rush meanwhile has continued to impress in training, his trainer, Luca Cumani, despite making noises that his horse far inferior to Septimus, exudes a quiet confidence. He knows the type of horse that wins races like the Melbourne Cup, having been second here last year with Purple Moon. Mad Rush is believed to be a much better proposition.

The Dermot Weld horse, Profound Beauty is the talk horse of the race. Her odds have come in to a best price of 8/1 with Paddypower and are likely to get shorter. She has been impressing everyone with her gallop work and provided she gets the trip she will be there or thereabouts. Dermot Weld has won the Melbourne Cup on two previous occasions. The most important aspect of the Melbourne Cup to rmember is the fact the winner usually come late and very fast and it often throws up and unfancied victor. In theory Septimus is the class horse in the race and on that basis he should have the measure of the handicappers, however, the Melbourne Cup is no ordinary race and Septimus could be found wanting for speed at the end.
