MUNHAMEK is coming off a nice win in the Swan Hill Cup and performs well here. SIBAAQ has placed in both Flemington starts and should be kept safe.

Appropriately, it was re-named in 1999 by the VRC Committee to honour the valuable contribution made to Victorian racing by David Joseph Bourke, CBE (1930–2005). He and his family had an historic association with Pakenham Racing Club, where he became Secretary aged 19. He chaired the Victorian Country Racing Council 1973–83. He was a VRC Committee member continuously from 1983 to 2002, Vice-Chairman 1990 and VRC Chairman 1991–98, promoting the Melbourne Cup internationally.
