Six international horses are among the 81 second acceptors for next month's Caulfield Cup.

Japanese horses Fame Game and Hokko Brave have already arrived in Victoria and are two of the six internationals along with Snow Sky, Trip To Paris, Max Dynamite and Quest For More.

Seventy-three horses have been paid up as second acceptors for the $3 million Cox Plate, including five overseas horses - Arod, Highland Reel, Gailo Chop, Ol' Man River and Lightning Spear.

The Aidan O'Brien-trained Cougar Mountain is a withdrawal at the latest stage of acceptances but last year's winning trainer has Highland Reel and Ol' Man River paid up.

Locally trained gallopers Kermadec, Fawkner and Winx occupy the top three lines of betting in the latest TAB market for the Cox Plate ahead of Arod, Contributer and Highland Reel who are all at $10.

There are nine three-year-olds still entered for the Cox Plate.

Second acceptances have also been taken for the Caulfield Guineas and Thousand Guineas with 48 three-year-olds still in the running for the Caulfield Guineas and 54 fillies have been paid up for the Thousand Guineas.

Nominations have been taken for the Victoria Derby and VRC Oaks as well as two $1 million sprint races - the Manikato Stakes and Darley Classic.

High-profile sprinters Lankan Rupee, Chautauqua and Terravista are among nominations for both the Manikato and Darley Classic.

The $1.5 million Victoria Derby has attracted 97 nominations with the Peter Moody-trained Group One winner Pasadena Girl the lone filly entered for the 2500m Classic for three-year-olds.

Pasadena Girl, winner of the Champagne Stakes in Sydney during the autumn, is also one of 88 fillies nominated for the $1 million VRC Oaks (2500m).
