A Geelong Cup, a Bendigo Cup and a Lexus Stakes are already in the bag for English trainer Charlie Appleby in his first foray into Australian racing.Now he will try to claim Australias biggest race at Flemington on Tuesday when he saddles up two runners in the Melbourne Cup.Applebys runners in Victoria this spring have already done the Godolphin trainer proud and he has Qewy and Oceanographer in the Cup.Appleby sent five horses to Australia for the spring carnival and said so far things had gone fantastically well.Scottish was billed as the stables main carnival player and he ran second in the $3 million Caulfield Cup and will run again in Saturdays $2 million Emirates Stakes (2000m).Qewy won the Geelong Cup (2400m) with Oceanographer third. Francis Of Assisi won the Bendigo Cup, while Second Wave was unplaced in the Moonee Valley Cup.Oceanographer secured his place in the Melbourne Cup with a barnstorming Lexus Stakes win on Saturday.Appleby was pleased with how Oceanographer came through the race but also admitted he was heading into the unknown by running him in the Melbourne Cup three days later, his third start in 13 days.From my point of view its something weve not done. All I can tell you is the horse is thriving on it, Appleby said.He came out of Geelong well, he eats well, and hes got a good mind. And what weve seen this morning, theres no negatives. Hes eaten up. Hes had a jog around the track. I cant give a negative.Its a concern. Weve just never done it before, so we really are going into an unknown with him.Oceanographers Lexus win elevated him to second favourite at $6.50 while Qewy is at $21.People said yesterdays performance was obviously exciting and historically its been a race that can throw up a horse that can run very well in the Melbourne Cup, Appleby said.Personally I love Qewy. Hes a horse whos got a great profile.He ran very well back in two festival races at Ascot and at Goodwood and what he did at Geelong, I know it was a front-running performance and people will say thats what he should be doing, but that was a mile and a half and on Tuesday it sounds as though its going to be a genuinely run two miles.Thats going to suit him down to the ground.But again you just cant knock what Oceanographers doing at the moment.Appleby said the two horses had different profiles and racing styles.Qewy we know is an out-and-out stayer but I felt what he did in the Geelong Cup was impressive for a horse we bought back in trip, he said.He said Oceanographer was a horse who needed to be ridden colder and liked to come charging home as he did on Saturday.Hes stepping up in trip again which I dont see that being any problem, but hes doing the three-day back-up which I cant tell you how thats going to pan out, Appleby said.
