Multiple Group 1 winner Humidor has been installed as the top weight for the 2018 Group 1 $7.3m Lexus Melbourne Cup (3200m) at Flemington on November 6.

The Darren Weir trained Humidor has been allocated the top weight of 58kg, 0.5kg more than the two European stayers Best Solution and Lancaster Bomber who have been given 57.5kg.
The Australian Bloodstock owned former Irish stayer Torcedor has been given 56.5kg while Best Solution’s stablemate from Aidan O’Brien’s Irish stables has 56.5kg along with the first of Chris Waller’s Melbourne Cup candidates Comin’ Through.
Other notable horses from the Weir stable in the Melbourne Cup nominations are Japanese import Tosen Basil who has been given 55.5kg, Big Duke, 54kg, Red Cardinal, 54kg and Kings Will Dream with 53kg, while last year’s Victoria Derby winner Ace High has been asked to carry 55kg.
Humidor is already in fine 2018 Spring Carnival form and collected his third career Group 1 trophy with a dashing win in the Group 1 $1m New Zealand Bloodstock Memsie Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on September 1.
Racing Victoria’s (RV) Executive General Manager – Racing & Participant Wellbeing, Greg Carpenter, said that with a strong representation from the internationals again, it will be hard for a locally trained stayer to win the 2018 Melbourne Cup.
“At this point, it looks as though we can expect a record number of international runners across the Spring Racing Carnival, so locally-trained horses could face a tough task in ensuring the cups remain here in Australia. That said, with horses like Kings Will Dream, Unforgotten and Ace High prominent in the early betting markets, I’m sure the overseas raiders won’t have it all their own way,” Carpenter said.
“With the high-class European pair Stradivarius and Vazirabad opting against travelling to Australia and no previous Melbourne Cup winners amongst the entries, all horses nominated for the Caulfield Cup and Melbourne Cup have been asked to carry more weight than they otherwise would have done.”
“With the conditions stating that each race has a minimum topweight of 58kg at the release of the handicaps, it is three-time Group 1 winner and Cox Plate runner-up Humidor that has been allotted the topweight in both races.
“Despite the absence of what I would call a natural topweight in both races, there is tremendous depth and quality among the entries and I suspect that the challenge to gain a start in both cups will be the toughest in recent years.
“With incredibly talented horses like Best Solution and Torcedor coming from Europe, the return of Japanese contenders led by Chestnut Coat, proven Australasian Group 1 performers like Humidor and an outstanding crop of four-year-olds, we will crown a worthy champion in the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups.”
The 2018 Melbourne Cup first acceptances are due on Tuesday, October 9, with the final field to be released on Saturday, November 3.
