Just an idea to get some long range Melbourne Cup tips especially from blokes like Slip who know Euro form and can maybe steer us into some early value.
At this stage I am looking at Jakalberry hoping he will be Mick Kent trained same interests as Unusual Suspect and Ibincenco but he was well beat last start and is a maiden so will get in light one of the OTI horses.

International stayers Sanagas and Val Champ will start their Melbourne
Cup campaigns this week with Bart Cummings and Anthony Freedman
respectively after being released from quarantine in Sydney.
Both horses, bought by BC3 Thoroughbreds, have been at the Eastern
Creek facility for two weeks and were due to leave the centre on
Sunday.
BC3 Thoroughbreds chief executive Bill Vlahos said the company's
equine expert John Brocklebank had accompanied both horses to
Australia and had reported they had travelled well and put on weight.
"Bart and Anthony have had them on their feed programs and both horses
are in good shape," Vlahos said.
Sanagas will be assessed at Cumming's Princes Farm before being
transferred to his Saintly Place stables at Flemington as early as
Monday.
Val Champ was scheduled to be transferred directly to Freedman's Rye
stables in Victoria.
Val Champ is $26 in TAB Sportsbet's opening Melbourne Cup market while
Sanagas is $35.
Vlahos said while all shares in Sanagas had been sold there were still
opportunities available in Val Champ for prospective owners.
An Argentinian stayer, Val Champ is a three-year-old son of 2001
Breeders Cup Mile winner Val Royal and has passed the ballot for the
Melbourne Cup for the next two years.
His Melbourne Cup lead up will be either the Caulfield Cup or the Cox Plate.
Val Champ has raced 10 times for a maiden victory over 2000 metres by
10 lengths and a Group Two Eduardo Casey (2200m) triumph.
He lost the Group One Nacional Stake (2500m) on protest before
finishing a close-up fourth against older horses in arguably South
America's most prestigious race, the Group One Carlos Pellegrini
(2400m).
Six-year-old Sanagas is an exciting American import who has won seven
of his 11 starts.
He was a dominant 3-1/4-length winner of the Group One Hollywood Turf
Cup (2400m) last November.
Cummings has watched a replay of the win and was impressed with the
acceleration Sanagas showed after racing wide without cover.
had its first bit of trackwork yesterday :P
