With half an hour to go before the 2010 Melbourne Cup jumps as Race 7 at Flemington, the Melbourne Cup odds on hot favourite So You Think to win the $6 million handicap have drifted out.

Heavily backed from their original $4 price, So You Think was paying $3 this morning to become the 2010 Melbourne Cup winner but has recently drifted out to $3.10 at Luxbet adding a little extra value for punters that just cannot shy away from his impressive form.

Shocking has shortened back into $11 to win back-to-back Melbourne Cups, while more money has come in for The Lexus Stakes winner Maluckyday firming into $8 and the only other runner aside from the favourite at single figure odds.

Can the top three Melbourne Cup betting favourites run the Trifecta?

History shows that favourites have a poor recent record in the Melbourne Cup results and that adding a roughie or two into your exotics is a better Melbourne Cup tip.

So head to Luxbet now while there’s still time to get your Melbourne Cup bets down!
