2019 Melbourne Cup Weights

Distance	3200m
Grade	Group 1
Track	Flemington
Prizemoney	$7,750,000
Class	Handicap
2018 winner	Cross Counter ($9.00)

The Aidan O’Brien trained Kew Gardens looks set to carry 58kg in the 2019 Melbourne Cup. Kew Gardens, twice a Group One winner, was last victorious in the 2018 Group One St Leger over 2917m. 

Defending champ Cross Counter has been slugged with an extra 6.5kg, sitting alongside the James Cummings trained Avillius with 57.5kg.

Other runners of note include the 2018 runners-up Marmelo (56kg) and Prince Of Arran (53kg), who are set to carry the same weight as last year.

Ebor Handicap winner Mustajeer looks well weighted with 55kg and is guaranteed a start in this year's race. 

Owner Lloyd Williams is aiming for his seventh Melbourne Cup this year and has six horses that look almost certain to gain a start. 

With the rule change for this year's Melbourne Cup, there are no Northern Hemisphere three-year-old's carrying 51kg, the weight Cross Counter carried to victory last year. This should make it a more even playing field for the older international raiders and local gallopers alike.
