The Melbourne Cup Carnival has received a triple shock on the morning of its opening day with Efficient and Kirklees scratched from the Melbourne Cup while Shamoline Warrior was ruled out of the Victoria Derby.

Mark Kavanagh gained a measure of compensation for the raceday scratching of Victoria Derby favourite Shamoline Warrior when Shocking won the Group III The Lexus Stakes.

Shocking, the only runner in the Lexus field guaranteed a start in the Melbourne Cup, was produced along the rails by jockey Michael Rodd to win the 2500m race at Flemington going away from Hume and Irazu. Scenic Shot proved too strong in the Group I Mackinnon Stakes at Flemington today, while Viewed finished a slashing third to confirm he was on target for the Melbourne Cup.

Viewed, the Caulfield Cup winner bidding to go back-to-back in the Melbourne Cup, finished strongly under hand-riding on the outside to claim third, a long neck behind the runner-up.

“Did you like it, did you,” trainer Bart Cummings said of Viewed’s run. “I thought it was quite a good run, and he’ll benefit from that run.” Cummings, striving for his 13th Melbourne Cup, said that Viewed suffered a superficial cut to the off-hind hock, which was bleeding when he returned to scale.
