I see Starcraft has drawn the 1 'box' for the Cox Plate. If Boss rides him back he'll get boxed away and you can send me your money now because he won't win from there, unless major gaps open on the fence. Do you think a jockey worth their salt wll allow that? I don't think so. Remember the home straight is a paltry ~170m long. Yes he worked well on the StrathAyr (is this the correct spelling?) surface but he'll need to monster the field before the turn.
Conversely, if Boss rides him forward AND he settles, then watch out, it'll be an interesting race thats for sure.
Good luck everyone.
