Two recent Melbourne Cup winners head weights

Dunaden and Green Moon, winners of the last two Emirates Melbourne Cups, head the weights for this year’s renewal at Flemington Park on November 5.

The Mikel Delzangles-trained Dunaden has been alloted 58.5kg (9st 3lb) by the handicapper following his 2011 success while Robert Hickmott’s Green Moon, who struck gold 12 months ago, has been given 57.5kg (9st 1lb) as he tries for back-to-back wins.
