Shaping up to be one of the weakest Cox Plates I've seen for a while so I'll be having my lunch money on Fields of Omagh - winner this race 2003 & placed 2004 & 2005.

Tackling his fifth consecutive Cox Plate! Amazing!

Hope you normally eat an expensive lunch Horse Mad! Did no good myself

My main investment for this race so far is the import Grey Swallow.
I agree with another poster that this years race appears to be a bit below par quality wise. If Grey Swallow can capture his northern hemisphere form he should be a little too classy for them. My only doubt is that he has not raced since June!

Read somewhere that Grey Swallow has performed very well (over distance) "first-up" in tha past.

my main bet so far is on Apache Cat but drawing the wide gate might have really cost him his chance one thing is for sure he will get every chance with Childs on board.

I also had a little e/w bet on Honor in War at the $71 being offered 2 nights ago just thought that was amazing odds.

As far as race day goes I will back someone else no idea who yet this is a tough race and any of them can win this call it an average field if you like but they are very close I feel especially if they run this along a bit.

Miss Finland and Pompeii Ruler quinella.

I wish you well... but I think even those odds are skinny... I only have form for its last 5 starts... and in its last 2 G1 races it has been beaten a sum of 12 lengths.. 8th out of 10 ad 6th out of 8...

Good luck with it tho
