The Melbourne Cup will be run on the first Tuesday in November despite all the COVID19 chaos, but without the huge crowds that normally grace Flemington on Cup Day.
The one thing that hasn’t changed about the 2020 Melbourne Cup is the horses.
Once again The Cup has brought together and elite field of Melbourne Cup horses to contest the two mile race for $7.75 Million.

22
Oceanex (17)




5YO Bay or Brown Mare
Dean Yendall (51.5kg)
Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr)
The locally trained mare was the first horse passed the ballot after an upset win in the Andrew Ramsden at this track over 2800m in May. Her first three runs were very plain, albeit over undesirable distances, before returning to form when third in the Moonee Valley Gold Cup. She’ll get the trip no worries, and will appreciate Flemington and the lightweight. Dean Yendall will go forward on the five-year-old mare from barrier 17 and hope to stick on in the straight.
Can Oceanex win The Cup?
It wouldn’t be the first time she has upset punters, but the only thing we’ll be backing her to beat home is the Ambulance. And maybe Etah James.
