JAPANESE raider Admire Rakti has been given the honour of topping the 2014 Melbourne Cup weights with 58 kilograms.
Racing Victoria’s handicapper Greg Carpenter said that as topweight under the rules of racing had to have 58 kilograms and he effectively had raised the weights of all runners by two kilograms.
Carpenter described this year as “a transitional year” and the toughest he had done since 2005 when he had to weigh Makybe Diva’s attempt to win her third Cup.
“This is a year of opportunity,” Carpenter said.
Admire Rakti arrives from quarantine in Japan this Saturday with Bande who has been given 56.5kg.
Carpenter said Admire Rakti had form parallels with the Japanese 2006 Melbourne Cup winner Delta Blues.
English stayer Red Cadeaux has been given 57 kilograms.
Lloyd Williams’ pair of Green Moon and Fawkner have been allotted 57kg.
Other internationals include; Cavalryman with 57kg, Dandino, Bande and Protectionist each have 56.5kg.
Melbourne Cup favourite The Offer has 56.5kg and has maintained favouritism with TAB Fixed Odds at $9.
The Japanese gallopers Admire Rakti and Bande firmed from $16 to $15.
