Cox Plate 2024 Preview
Track: Good 4 Weather: Fine
Prognosisis a Japanese import with form around Romantic Warrior. Must be treated with respect in this. Via Sistina bounced back to form with a strong win last start and can go on with things. Expect the usual honest run from Pride Of Jenni who bumped into a smart one last week and is good enough to take this out. Expect there won’t be miuch between here and Mr Brightside yet again while Broadsiding will need luck from the barrier but is well placed in this field.
2024 Cox Plate Runner by Runner
1. Mr Brightside (2)
He is a warrior and a star. He has been close up all prep and should be right in the finish against this lot yet again. Big hope.
2. Prognosis (5)
Japanese import who has form around Romantic Warrior. Drawn well in barrier 5 and if handling the track will take plenty of beating in this race. Lane has been booked and hard to ignore the form lines it brings to this.
3. Kovalica (9)
Can’t have.
4. Royal Patronage (3)
Prefer others.
5. Docklands (1)
Handy import who warrants a market check in this hot field.
6. Pride Of Jenni (7)
After her first up poor effort she has been ultra impressive. Last start didn’t have much luck in running when niggled at multiple times by another runner in the King Charles Stakes.She can land on speed and give this a huge shake.
7. Via Sistina (4)
Smart import who bounced back to form last start and gets a true test in this field. Big hope off the back of a strong prep so far and J-Mac booked is a big push.
8. Broadsiding (8)
No luck last start when settling too far back. Barrier 8 on this track could be problematic but has no shortage of talent. Goes in the mix if things fall into place and it has a back to follow at the right time.
9. Evaporate (6)
Big fan but might find these a bit too slick. Could find the placings at handy odds.
