The Melbourne Cup 2022 is run at Flemington racecourse over 2m and is one of the biggest races of the year. Horses carrying a lot of weight don't tend to win the race, a recent run is normally beneficial and also a previous place in a group race. Horses in stall 5 or higher have done better in the race than those lower. A trainer that has excelled more than most of the others is Danny O'Brien placing 3 times and winning 1 from 15 runners. That's a good strike rate for a race of such magnitude and is only bettered by one trainer. The horses that meet the trends are below:

Young Wether (Danny O'Brien) @40/1

Serpentine (won Epsom Derby 2020) @50/1

Smokin Romans @16/1

Interpretation @40/1
