The final field for the Melbourne Cup has been declared with 12 Australian trainers represented.

Training partners David Hayes, Ben Hayes and Tom Dabernig hold weight of numbers for the Australian brigade with three runners - favourite Constantinople, Rostropovich and Neufbosc.

Champion trainer Chris Waller has secured Cup berths for Finche and Youngstar while Vow And Declare is also regarded as a strong chance for Danny O'Brien.

Irish trainer Joseph O'Brien, who won the Cup two years ago with Rekindling, has four runners including Downdraft who secured his spot with a Hotham Stakes victory at Flemington on Saturday.
