Feature race of the day is the Moonee Valley Cox Plate, run over 2040 metres. A field of 12 runners won’t produce the stellar trifecta or multiples seen a few weeks ago in the Epsom Handicap and Turnbull Stakes, but worth watching and maybe backing the winner.
COX PLATE picks
3. Zipping – an old favourite here, this 7 year old gelding by Danehill is a seasoned runner, and multiple Melbourne Cup campaigner. Back in top form as seen in his 3rd place run in the Turnbull Stakes, where he came home strongly breathing down their necks – should relish the extra 40 metres today.
10. Gallant Tess – a longshot with a chance. This 5 year old mare by Galileo, keeps proving in big races and has the breeding to extend the distance.
The other top race today is the CATHAY PACIFIC AIRWAYS Group2 Cup 2500m. In a field of 14, there are 3 exceptional runners here, good to win or include in your multiples.
CATHAY PACIFIC AIRWAYS Cup picks
1. Newport
3. Baughurst
8. On A Jeune
Good luck.

ZIPPING the pick for Cox Plate ran on well for 2nd, Maldivian won with a very efficient ride by M Rodd. ZIPPING is running at his best and will probably be a real contender again for the Melbourne Cup.
