2022 Melbourne Cup trifecta tips & betting strategy
Trying to snare the Melbourne Cup trifecta is one of the greatest traditions and an exceptionally lucrative bet type for punters. Horsebetting.com.au bring you our best trifecta tips for the 2022 Melbourne Cup at Flemington on Tuesday, November 1.
The 2021 Melbourne Cup trifecta paid $436.20 on the local tote with Verry Elleegant ($18 SP), Incentivise ($2.90 SP) and Spanish Mission ($10 SP) filling the trifecta.
Having finished within a nostril of claiming The Metropolitan, the Anthony & Sam Freedman-trained Realm Of Flowers (#24) simply must be included in all Melbourne Cup trifecta bets on Tuesday. With the predicted rain that is forecast, she has the runs on the board to handle the wet track and on the low weight of 50kg should be hitting the line better than most, if not all of her rivals.
2019 Melbourne Cup winner Vow And Declare (#10) is back to have another crack at winning the Cup and based on recent form this campaign he cannot be ruled out of finishing in the top three. The Danny O’Brien-trained runner is one of few horses who are proven over 3200m and from barrier four under Blake Shinn is sure to gain a perfect run in transit.
Deauville Legend (#8) is a deserving favourite with online bookmakers for the race that stops a nation and brings similar form lines to what 2018 Melbourne Cup champion Cross Counter did to the event. The concern is that he has not seen a rain-affected track in his short seven-start career, but on class alone he has to be included in every exotic/tip for this year’s Melbourne Cup. With 3x Melbourne Cup-winning jockey Kerrin McEvoy on board, Deauville Legend has to be seriously respected.
Having been lipped out in the Caulfield Cup, there is little doubting the staying credentials off the Ciaron Maher & David Eustace-trained Gold Trip (#1). The five-year-old looks set to handle the rain-affected track with great aplomb and with Mark Zahra on board from barrier 14 is sure to be given a peach of a steer. The standout fault in Gold Trip coming into a race like this is he has won just once in 15 attempts. Considering he has been placed on eight other occasions, Gold Trip is a big trifecta player in the 2022 Melbourne Cup.

Hi guys – I think there’s a typo in your $100 betting strategy for Trifecta – you make reference to #1, #8, #10 and #24 – but the copy reads “1-9-10-24” – shouldn’t the “9” be “8”?
