Melbourne Cup Meeting Best Bets Taking a look at a few best bets early for the Melbourne Cup meeting a tough card but we think we have found a few here to beat the bookies.

Buckaroo always gives a great account of himself, he's been here before and will be better for that experience, Maps to drop in behind the leading bunch and will be doing his best work late as usual.
