With the 2010 Cox Plate running this Saturday October 23, punters have the chance to bet on any of 7 Group level races during Cox Plate Day. Read on to get our best tips for 2010 Cox Plate Day, which will cover selections for win bets, place bets and exotic bets.
The day will start with the 1000 metre Inglis Banner at 12:35PM AEDST. We reckon Masthead (number 5) is the way to go if you are picking a winner, and places could go to Mirror Man (number 6) and Elite Falls (number 9).
Next will be the Arrow Training Services Stakes at 1:20PM, a 1600 metre race where we are backing Absolutely (number 7) to win. Our thoughts on the potential placegetters centre on Rose of Peace (number 10) and Ambers Waltz (number 1).

The first Group race of the day will be the Group 3 1300 Australia Stakes (previously the Red Anchor Stakes). This 1200 metre sprint will see Lone Rock (number 2) putting in a winning performance, while places could go to Blink (number 9), Dutchy’s Lass (number 7), and Multahem (number 5).
One of the major events of the day, the Group 2 Crystal Mile, will follow at 2:40PM. The 1600 metre run looks to be favouring the talents of Rockpecker (number 8 ) this year, though Snow Alert (number 9), Drumbeats (number 2) and Rock Kingdom (number 1) aren’t without their charms.
After that is the Group 2 Schweppes Stakes, a 1200 metre sprint that will jump at 3:20PM. Our pick to win is Hot Danish (number 4), while places will go to some mix of Melito (number 5), Black Caviar (number 6), and True Persuasion (number 3) in a race that is sure to bring excitement to Cox Plate Day.
An important race to watch if you are betting next weekend will be the Group 2 AAMI Vase. This 2040 metre race is a great prep run for the Victoria Derby, and it is set to start at 4:00PM. To us, Kudakulari (number 6) looks set to win. The places will probably go to Rekindled Interest (number 7), Bullbars (number 5) or Smokin’ Joe (number 4).
Just before the main event of Cox Plate day is the Group 2 Cathay Pacific Airways Cup (previously the Moonee Valley Cup). The race will begin at 4:40PM and we think Precedence (number 2) is set to take this one, with places falling to Jessicabeel (number 3), Above Average (number 5), or Master O’Reilly (number 6).
The 2010 Cox Plate run is set to start at 5:35PM. We are going with everyone else and supporting So You Think (number 5) to win this in style. For places, we think that Shoot Out (number 6), Zipping (number 1) and Captain Sonador (number 8 ) all look to be good prospects. See our full 2010 Cox Plate Tips and Betting Preview post for more details.
The last race of the day will be the Group 3 Pulse Pharmacy Stakes (previously the Tesio Stakes and it was the Inglis Mile before that). This 1600 metre run will go off at 6:20PM. Our system tells us that Katie Lee (number 1) will pick up the win, while places could go to Lady Lynette (number 2), Preventable (number 15) or Zantelagh (number 16).
