A feat rarely accomplished, Williams was speaking confidently about the chances of a double. “With 55.5kg I think he can win a Caulfield Cup, be penalised and not have too much weight to win a Melbourne Cup. Whereas Fame Game, if he won a Caulfield Cup and was then penalised it’s unlikely that he’d be able to win a Melbourne Cup.”

Hokko Brave is currently priced up at $17.00 with Sportsbet to win the 2015 Melbourne Cup and is exactly the same price with Sportsbet to win the Caulfield Cup. The same bookmaker has Hokko Brave at $67.00 to do the Caulfield Cup/Melbourne Cup double.

Current favourite for both races is another Japanese raider, Fame Game, who has been allocated top weight for the race that stops a nation in November.
