Shocking trainer has doubts about a MelCup repeat

11:47 am on 26 October 2010

The trainer of last year's Melbourne Cup winner isn't confident of repeating the feat in Australia's great race at Flemington next Tuesday.

Shocking had a good run in Saturday's Cox Plate, which was won by the Bart Cumming's trained star So You Think.

Shocking's trainer Mark Cavinagh says it's impossible to feel confident about winning the Melbourne Cup again.

Shocking will warm up for the Cup in this Saturday's MacKinnon Stakes alongside So You Think and Caulfield Cup champion Descarado.
