Ruscello will be running in the Cup. The weight is interesting - 50kg is what Ruscello will carry. The last time a Cup runner carried 50kg was Moatize in 2008, Moatize got 6th. But the last time a horse carried 50kg in the Melbourne Cup and won was Rogan Josh in 1999.
Interesting also that both Ruscello and Rogan Josh won on Derby Day.
Cheers,
