The Cranbourne Cup is a lucrative spring feature race taking place at Cranbourne Racecourse that was previously contested over further earlier but now takes place over a mile in late November. 

In 2021 the Cranbourne Cup distance was reduced to 1600m and the event moved from its previous slot on a Sunday in mid-October to a Saturday in November.

Cranbourne Cup Day currently runs on the same date as the $1.5 million Group 1 Railway Stakes (1600m) in Perth.

With a $500,000 prize purse, it is one of the key features on the Spring Cups circuit and the pride of the Cranbourne Turf Club.  

A Listed race, the Cranbourne Cup is a quality handicap and until 2021 served as a nice lead-up into the bigger spring Cup races including the Group 1 Caulfield Cup (2400m) and Group 1 Melbourne Cup (3200m).

One of the standout Cranbourne Cup winners is On A Jeune (2004) who went on to run second behind three-time champion Makybe Diva in the 2005 Melbourne Cup results.

Which Horse Will Win The Cranbourne Cup 2023

The best way to pick who will win the Cranbourne Cup is to take into account their lead-up spring racing form, allocated weights under the handicap conditions and previous experience over the distance. 

Additional factors to consider when picking the Cranbourne Cup winner in 2023 include: 

  • Class Factor – The top-weighted horses have a strong recent record in the Cranbourne Cup with wins by the likes of Folkswood (59kg in 2017), Mourinho (59kg in 2014) and Pakal (60kg in 2013).
  • Internationals – Any international raiders lining-up in the Cranbourne Cup field make a good bet.
  • 2021 Distance Change – The Cranbourne Cup distance was reduced to 1600m in 2021 making the Group 1 Champions Mile (1600m) on Victoria Derby Day a nice new lead-up into the race. King Magnus (5th in 2021) became the latest Cranbourne Cup winner to come off a run in the Kennedy Cantala Stakes.
