Andrew Hawkins’ famous in-depth Melbourne Cup preview

2023-11-06T09:50+11:00

Betfair is once again excited to unveil the centerpiece of its Melbourne Cup content suite, Andrew Hawkins’ exclusive feature preview for punters and racing fans alike.

The feature preview serves as a comprehensive handbook, with detailed profiles of every horse, along with expert predictions, highlighting the pros and cons of all the chances in the race.

Hawkins’ early tip is the international raider Vauban. At the start of the week the Willie Mullins trained horse, odds were $4.9 representing some strong value on the Betfair Exchange. He since firmed to $3.85 in the Antepost market, thanks in part, to some impressive jumpouts on the Flemington turf.

Showing his keen judge of the markets and the interest for Vauban, Hawkins added this prediction, before the barrier draw.

“There’s every chance he starts somewhere around 3.5, even with the presence of horses like Gold Trip and Without A Fight.

“The form around him keeps on stacking up and he does appear to have beaten the handicapper, even on 55kg.”

Sure enough, punter's continue to back Vauban, as of 10.30am Sunday, he sits at $3.80 on the Betfair Exchange.

Andrew Hawkins and Betfair released the in-depth preview post the Melbourne Cup barrier draw at Flemington on Saturday evening.

While Vauban presents a strong chance in the market, Hawkins has provided strategies for multiple markets on the Betfair Exchange including back and lay suggestions, unit stakes and rated prices. For example,
