This Saturday at Flemington we have the Melbourne Cup Carnival kicking off with the day’s marquee race being the Group 1 $2 million AAMI Victoria Derby (2500m), our exclusive two-word 2019 Victoria Derby form guide detailed below.

The Victoria Derby field faces off in Flemington Race 7 at 3:45pm (AEDT) as part of a bumper all-Group race card, after which the official 2019 Melbourne Cup Field & Barrier Draw will be announced.

Impressive Spring Champion Stakes winner Shadow Hero is narrow favourite in Victoria Derby betting at Ladbrokes.com.au looking to complete the interstate double and keep the wins coming.

Thought Of That put a big margin on his rivals in the Group 3 Norman Robinson Stakes last time out and looks a huge threat going up to 2500m.

The likelihood of rain and a predicted Soft-rated track could open-up the Victoria Derby results with the Kiwi-trained Geelong Classic winner Long Jack a roughie shot in the wet.

To help punters work out the three-year-old stayers to back and sack in their Victoria Derby 2019 tips, below we’ve summed up the winning chances of all the horses in this year’s $2 million classic.
