Can Serpentine win the 2022 Melbourne Cup?

[Wandering Eyes]

The Robert Hickmott-trained Serpentine will be the first of the Lloyd Williams owned runners in saddle cloth order in this year’s Melbourne Cup.

Serpentine will be one of the main speed influences, as he has lead in all of his races in Australia since arriving here.

His last start second in the Archer Stakes over 2500m at Flemington was his best performance to date in Australia.

When will Serpentine run in the Melbourne Cup?

The Melbourne Cup will be run on the first Tuesday in November at Flemington in front of a sold out crowd for the first time since 2019.

The one thing that hasn’t changed about the 2022 Melbourne Cup is the horses.

Once again The Cup has brought together an elite field of Melbourne Cup horses to contest the two mile race for $7.75 million.

Can Knights Order win The Cup?

Prior to his second placed finished in the heavily reduced Archer Stakes field, the Robert Hickmott-trained Serpentine had been in shocking form since arriving in Australia. The result reads better than it should and despite likely being up on speed, his form is just too hard to ignore and we expect to see him finish towards the rear of the field.
