KEY POINTS:
Twenty horses have been paid up for Saturday's A$2.5 million ($2.98 million) Caulfield Cup at the final acceptance stage. The barrier draw will be held today.
There were no surprises in yesterday's list, with favourite Maldivian and fancied runners Eskimo Queen, Maybe Better and Master O'Reilly among those paid up for.
Cups legend Bart Cummings will be the only trainer from equine influenza ravaged New South Wales represented after accepting with Queensland Derby placegetter Sirmione.
Last year's winner Tawqeet is one of five David Hayes-trained horses still in the mix, along with Blue Monday, Black Tom, Anamato and Molotov.
There will be two emergencies for the race.
