23: Mr Celebrity. Trainer: Gai Waterhouse. Current odds: $18.80 Win, $5.30 Place.
Why did I pick him? A few reasons.
Makybe Diva? I honestly can't see her winning three in a row. Arguably, I'm one of those people who has no interest in horse racing whatsoever, but who suddenly becomes an expert the day before the Melbourne Cup. And last year I said Makybe Diva wouldn't get two in a row. Shows how much I know.

Why did I pick him? A few reasons.
- He's not the frontrunner, so I feel independent.
- He's got fairly good odds, so I have a chance of winning.
- I like the name.
- I like the colours of the jockey's gear.
- The trainer is Gai Waterhouse. Who could resist?
