'His form has been superb' - trainer quotes for the Melbourne Cup

Andrew Balding, trainer of Spanish Mission
He left last Friday after quarantining in Newmarket and is now in quarantine over there. He's been led out for the past three mornings and has travelled well by all accounts. It's all systems go for the Melbourne Cup.

Adrian Bott, co-trainer of Sir Lucan
Sir Lucan is continuing to improve and ran some high-rated races, proving he can stay. We thought they were figures that would see him develop into an ideal Melbourne Cup prospect, particularly this year. It's comforting knowing he's closely related to horses who have done well here.

Andrew Forsman, co-trainer of The Chosen One
He runs in the Caulfield Cup. Incentivise looks a good horse but The Chosen One is ready to go, so we can't worry about the others. Stall nine in that race is a good draw; if he'd drawn wide he would be closer to last and that makes it difficult in a big field.
