Ten horses will square-off for a Melbourne Cup ticket in Wednesday\u2019s Group 3 Geelong Cup, including last year\u2019s winner, UK-raider Onesmoothoperator.<\/p>\n
Brian Ellison\u2019s galloper, who won the 2024 edition impressively prior to a midfield finish in the Melbourne Cup, will once again be ridden by Craig Williams and has drawn the second outside gate in nine.<\/p>\n
Whisky On The Hill, luckless in the Herbert Power last start, is alongside him in eight, with Tassie visitor Distrustful Award copping the very outside gate.<\/p>\n
Berkeley Square (gate six) and Changingoftheguard (gate seven) have drawn well, as has the King\u2019s horse Gilded Water in four, to be steered by Declan Bates.<\/p>\n
Grand Pierro (one), Fernao (two) and Ferago (five) round out the field.<\/p>\n
The day\u2019s other feature, the 2200 metre Listed Geelong Classic, has a full field of 16 three-year-olds and an emergency, with Highvol, Matsuda, Azazel and Crown Of Russia some acceptors of note.<\/p>\n
