Top 5
Rostropovich drew wide in the Cox Plate and did a hell of a lot of work to get to the front. He sat three wide for the first 800m of the race but he battled on nicely to finish alongside Avilius. He looks like he will relish the step up to the two mile and the wide barrier shouldn’t worry him too much as he will go forward. With 51kg on his back, he is a genuine chance in the race and can certainly finish top 5.

Aiden OBrien Trained Winner

Sound Check can run a cheeky race at big odds in the Cup. The Michael Moroney trained import ran to within half a length of Best Solution in his last run in Europe before heading over and that horse is rated a $12 chance. You can forget his Caulfield Cup run as his trainer has admitted the team got it completely wrong in having him so far back. He was never going to be in finish in one of the slowest run Caulfield Cups in recent times. He is a winner at the distance and is outstanding value.
