IT'S A Dundeel is out of the Melbourne Cup and a lame Puissance De Lune could be the next stayer to fall by the wayside as the attrition rate starts to gather momentum with just over a week to the great race.

The two outstanding stayers have been at the top of Melbourne Cup betting for months but both could miss the big race after disastrous Cox Plate runs last Saturday.

It's A Dundeel, who had been under an injury cloud going into the Cox Plate, endured a torrid run when trapped three-wide throughout and finished a well-beaten eighth.

"He just got caught three wide from the start and there's nothing you can do about it," Baker said. "He's not going to win with a run like that."

Baker said he didn't believe It's A Dundeel's hoof issues earlier this month made any difference to the Cox Plate result but confirmed the five-time Group 1 winner was out of the Melbourne Cup. It's A Dundeel is due to return to New Zealand on Thursday.

Puissance De Lune pulled up lame in the near foreleg when a distant 10th in the Cox Plate.

Trainer Darren Weir said last night Puissance De Lune will undergo a complete veterinary examination today before a decision is made on the grey's racing future but a Melbourne Cup start is now increasingly unlikely.

In other Melbourne Cup news, trainer David Hayes has confirmed Glen Boss is the new rider for Jet Away in the Mackinnon Stakes on Saturday and then the Melbourne Cup.

Jet Away, ridden by Damien Oliver, ran an outstanding Melbourne Cup trial when fourth to Fawkner in the Caulfield Cup.

Oliver goes back onto Fiorente in the Melbourne Cup with the Gai Waterhouse-trained stayer the new favourite $5 after his courageous third in the Cox Plate.

England's champion jockey Ryan Moore has been confirmed as the new rider of Dandino in the Melbourne Cup.
