Trained by Ciaron Maher
Zahrann is the each-way story of the 2026 Melbourne Cup: Ciaron Maher's Irish stayer drew barrier 11 — the most successful gate in the race's history, with nine winners — and carries 54.5kg with Ben Melham riding.
At $16 in the market at the draw he profiles as the value runner: a lightly-weighted international from a stable that knows how to win the race, with history's favourite gate.
