Melbourne remains possible target for impressive Beauty
The Emirates Melbourne Cup remains a possible target for the Dermot Weld-trained five year old who beat Mourayan, the Irish Derby third, by one and a quarter lengths, to record her third win of the year.
But with the weights for Australia’s famous two mile handicap out early next month, the handicapper’s reaction to last night’s victory will influence whether the five year old will attempt to improve on her fifth placing in the big Flemington event.
