The 2010 Cox Plate is running this Saturday October 23, starting at 5:35PM AEDST at Moonee Valley Racecourse. Read on for a betting preview and our top 2010 Cox Plate tips to help you pick a winner as well as the placegetters for your exotic bets.
Our pick to win the 2010 Cox Plate is So You Think, priced at $1.55 to win in the fixed odds market at Luxbet. As last year’s winner and having proven himself at the distance in the 2000 metre Group 1 Yalumba Stakes last start, no Cox Plate tips worth reading will pick against So You Think.
Moving on to the likely placegetters, our greatest confidence is in Shoot Out. He is priced at $11 to win, but we are really just picking him to place. This is partially based on his third place Turnbull Stakes finish, but also on his Australian Derby win earlier in the year and just generally good form this season.
Next of our placegetter picks is Zipping, winner of the Turnbull Stakes, and third place in the 2009 Cox Plate. This really is Zipping’s distance, and he probably has a good chance of improving on last year’s performance even if he cannot win.
Our final pick for the places is Captain Sonador, who shocked everyone with his win in the Epsom Handicap a few weeks ago. He hasn’t suddenly become a worldbeater, of course, but a place in the Cox Plate is not out of the question, and he is certainly worth including in any box trifecta or box First Four bet on the Cox Plate.
