Melbourne Cup 2011 Tips And Odds Make Americain Most Popular
Thursday 27 October 2011 at 10:34
 The Melbourne Cup 2011 is now less than a week away and Americain remains the most popular horse in both the Melbourne Cup 2011 Odds and Tips and Americain looks highly likely to start as favourite in ‘the race that stops a nation’.
Last Years Winner Set To Take All The Beating
Americain has so far proved the most popular Melbourne Cup runner with the OLBG tipsters, currently 38.5% of tipsters have gone for the favourite which is amazing considering the size of the field. Americain won the Melbourne Cup last year in impressive fashion and has won twice since, including on his last run when he showed he is as good as ever when taking the Drake International Cup by 2 1/4 lengths. Americain is currently available at 4/1 with several bookies including Paddy Power. Those odds have Americain well clear of the second favourite who is Dunaden currently. Dunaden is available at 8/1 with William Hill and the French trained runner looks to have a leading chance despite not yet attracting any tips in the OLBG Tipster Competition. Dunaden won his last start in Australia and looks to have the mile and a half speed often associated with Melbourne Cup winners so he could be worth an each way bet at this stage.
Bauer Could Be Best Each Way Bet In The Race
Lucas Cranach is the third favourite in the Melbourne Cup 2011 Odds, the 10/1 chance will certainly appreciate the step up in trip having been outpaced over a mile and a half last time out but he might be a little too slow to win the Melbourne Cup and it would be no surprise to see him finishing fast and late next week. The best of the British trained runners this year is Jukebox Jury according to the bookies, the Mark Johnston trained runner won the Irish St Leger last time out and he is certainly a versatile horse so it is no surprise he is one of the most fancied horses in the race at 12/1 with Paddy Power, 7.7% of OLBG tipsters have currently gone for Jukebox Jury. Judging by the tips on OLBG the best value could lie with Luca Cumani trained Bauer who has 23.1% of the tips despite being as big as 22/1 with Bet365. Bauer looked unlucky behind Dunaden last time out and missed out on winning the Melbourne Cup by a nose in 2008 so he looks a very good each way bet.
