Comments: Well, those at the back of the field were no hope given how slowly the Cox Plate was run. Zarita ran a close 4th and she got exactly the run I thought she would. She stayed on well and she'll run well in the Melbourne Cup if she starts. Cessnock 7-2 Giles drew 13 of 13 and nearly broke his duck over this course last time out. Has not drawn a decent gate in his 4 start career and he should win this from the inside draw. Northam 3-2 White Stripes led them up and fell in over this course first up and this isn't much of a rise in grade so he should be in the race for a long way. Northam 8-1 Touch Of French split two Northam wins with an unplaced effort in town. Looks well placed and should get a soft run from the gate so he looks an excellent e/w chance.
