It's that time when once a year punters file into betting agencies across the countries and try their luck at tipping the winner of the Melbourne Cup.
But what's the best formula?
Do you go for a lucky colour? The old analogy that red goes faster doesn't always prove to be true at Flemington.
Maybe a lucky number or quirky name? If that's the case, then it's impossible to go past Who Shot Thebarman ($21) or Max Dynamite ($14).
