Ritza Piper won the race last year after gaining a start as first reserve, she’s a part of this year’s field and has the monumental task of going back-to-back.
The other Group 1 on the night is the Hume Cup where Tasmanian hero Raider’s Guide is considered the leading contender.
Over $3.5m in prize money is up for grabs throughout the festival.
Coverage of Sportsbet Melbourne Cup heats, Sportsbet Melbourne Cup final and The Phoenix will also be live on Racing.com.
