Winx is the unsurprisingly short priced Cox Plate favourite

Winx is the obvious top pick in the all in market for the Cox Plate (2040m), where she will attempted a record breaking 4th straight win in the great race.

The mare was being hinted at going overseas but instead is being saved to create history and win her 4th straight win. She’s at $1.55 and realistically, that seems overs given how short she has been in recent times. Next best is the horse who during her winning streak has been the only horse to come from behind her and take ground off, which is Humidor at $13.

The interesting runner is two year old about to be three, The Autumn Sun. He was outstanding in winning the JJ Atkins and is being set for the Caulfield Guineas. If he was to win or run very well there, the temptation would be there to go to the Cox Plate. $51/$13.50 seems value, especially the place.
