Ignore the hype and the coat-tuggers, here are the facts and the best lays in the Cox:

Marasco's form in Vic. suggests she'll hold up the next race. Might win a country maiden.

Haradasun [hasn't been able to win one of the easier last 6 starts and now it's going to win the Cox?].

Miss Finland [up 9ks since last year's loss in this and has never proved herself as a WFA horse].

If El Segundo gets the wobbles [often], I wouldn't be surprised to see Lad of the Manor win this as we have one of the weakest Cox fields seen for some time.
