2020 Geelong Cup betting preview

The Group 3 Geelong Cup will be run on Wednesday afternoon over 2400m. Four internationals will take part in the race, which has proven to be a stepping stone into the Melbourne Cup in previous years, with the likes of Media Puzzle, Bauer, Americain, Dunaden and Prince Of Arran winning the Geelong Cup and then running top two in the Flemington feature 13 days later. Entente will lead this field up, while Ashrun will jump the favourite ahead of Skyward, Le Don De Vie and San Huberto.

Best BetLe Done De Vie (#4) $5.50 with Sportsbet

It can be a tough race to get a gauge on internationals having their Australian debut, but one runner that looks suited here is Le Don De Vie. He comes off a win at Windsor in the August Stakes over 2300m. He should’ve won the Glorious Stakes at Goodwood, but he wasn’t given a good crack at them in the straight. Ben Melham has been booked here, which shows great intent, and from barrier eight they can settle just forward of midfield and give it a good shake.

Next BestAshrun (#2) $3.90 with Sportsbet

Ashrun has been spruiked as a genuine Melbourne Cup hope, but he’ll have to put in a dominant display here to get a start. Trained by Andreas Wohler, he will start the favourite on Wednesday afternoon and gets Craig Williams on board from gate 10. If he brings his best, he should win this given his impressive record on soft tracks and out over a trip.

Best ValueSteel Prince (#7) $6 with Sportsbet

Steel Prince looks the best of the locals after running third in the Bart Cummings last start behind Persan and Sound. Jye McNeil hops back on and will settle worse than midfield from barrier nine. The gelding finished midfield in this race last year but is going much better this time around. He goes down in weight from his last start Group 3 placing too.
