TABtouch blog columnist Scott Embry is tipping Zenaze (green, white and purple colours) to win TABtouch Melbourne Cup Day at Ascot's first race

Punting Form race reports: Tuesday 5 November

 The TABtouch - Better Your Bet Maiden will kick off TABtouch Melbourne Cup Day at Ascot proceedings and TABtouch blog columnist Scott Embry agrees with Punting Form that Colin Webster's galloper Zenaze is the one to beat.

Embry says Zenaze was ridden forward in his first-up race and did not seem to appreciate being positioned so close to the speed. Zenaze's TABtouch - Better Your Bet Maiden barrier means Troy Turner should be able to put his mount in the three-wide-with-cover train and his Punting Form two-year personal best is at least 2.5 lengths superior to those of his Tuesday rivals.
