Cox Plate Form Guide & Tips
(1) Mr Brightside ($8.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'To get $8.00 for a horse like Mr Brightside shows how competitive the 2024 Cox Plate is. However, we’re making room for him in our top four picks.
He doesn’t know how to give up, and although he couldn’t run down Deny Knowledge, this is a completely different race.
Include him in picks at the price.
(2) Prognosis (Best Bet – $3.30)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'The Japanese runner has been heavily backed since markets opened, and Japanese form must be respected.
He’s a classy seven-year-old who owns seven wins and five placings from 15 starts, and he finished second behind Romantic Warrior in Hong Kong. Romantic Warrior won the 2023 Cox Plate, so the form measures up.
His odds could drift, but he’s still a good winning chance.
(3) Kovalica ($31.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'We can’t find room for him in our selections despite hitting the line well for second last time out.
That came behind Attrition, who would be around the same odds as Kovalica in the Cox Plate.
(4) Royal Patronage ($31.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'His form since arriving in Australia has been good, but we don’t think he’s up to this level of racing just yet.
He won fresh up before placing behind the likes of Fangirl and Ceolwulf, but we need to see more from him behind Attrition last start.
(5) Docklands (Best Roughie – $19.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'The former European is having his first start in Australia, and of the runners at double-figure odds, he could be the best of them.
He gets the inside draw for this race, and there’s no doubting his staying ability. Our only worry is a 2040m at The Valley runs shorter, so he might need the run.
However, the class is there and having Blake Shinn in the saddle helps.
(6) Pride of Jenni ($4.80)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'The Ciaron Maher-trained mare lost no admirers when placing behind Ceolwulf last Saturday, and if she’s not fatigued, she should go close.
A key to victory is going well clear in the front, and The Valley is a front runners circuit, so we’re not leaving her out of selections.
Declan Bates could pull off another quality ride, so take the each-way odds.
(7) Via Sistina ($4.40)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Via Sistina has yet to race at The Valley, which is a concern. However, she’s a classy mare coming off a win at Flemington.
She got the better of Buckaroo, who finished hard for second in the Caulfield Cup, so her form lines stack up well.
Her record at the distance is exceptional, so she’s not being left out.
(8) Broadsiding (Best Each Way – $6.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Forget the classy three-year-old went around at Caulfield last start. He got too far back and the track bias played against him.
James Cummings has a good record with his age-group runners in the Cox Plate, and getting in with 49.5kg makes him tough to bet against.
Punters get $6.00 for the best 3YO in the country.
(9) Evaporate ($21.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'As tough as they come, but we don’t think he’s suited to this level. He’s another light weight chance, but a place would be his best result.
Interesting to note a Hong Kong rider comes to ride in Karis Teetan.
