Hartnell remains favourite to win the Melbourne Cup tomorrow.
Trainer John O’Shea believes he deserves to be favourite heading into the Melbourne Cup.
Hartnell is a winner over 3200m as a three‑year‑old in England but has been beaten in his only two attempts at the distance since being imported to Australia.
He was fourth as odds‑on favourite in last year’s Sydney Cup before finishing 15th in the Melbourne Cup last year.
The final field for tomorrow’s $6.2 million Melbourne Cup at Flemington has been decided.
One being Hartnell who has won the Turnbull Stakes, Jameka took the Caulfield Cup and Sir John Hawkwood took out The Metropolitan.
The Melbourne Cup will be at 3pm tomorrow.
