I can't see a overseas raider winning the Cox Plate mainly because of the Moonee Valley track , first of all they have to handle the Strathayr then they have to handle the tight track resulting in tight close racing which they would not be that experienced with.

I agree Grandera has a chance , every horse does but up against superstars on a track that will probably disadvantage him he really will have to be something special.
