Your Say

The Rising Star

Helmet

Helmet has transformed himself from a promising but sometimes wayward two-year-old into a champion three-year-old, winning the Caulfield Guineas in the fastest time ever run in the race. He has never raced over 2040m or at Moonee Valley, but that hasn't stopped him becoming Cox Plate favourite.

 

The Kiwi Raider

Jimmy Choux

Jimmy Choux showed his talent when he won the Rosehill Guineas in the autumn and since returning this campaign, he has notched consecutive Group One wins in New Zealand. Comes to town as the best credentialed Kiwi in years looking to become the first NZ-trained winner of the race in 11 years.

 

The Local Hope

Rekindled Interest

Rekindled Interest is the best hope of the Melbourne trained horses having won the AAMI Vase (2040m) on Cox Plate day last year and then winning the traditional lead-up, the Dato Tan Chin Nam Stakes (1600m) in September. Has plenty of talent, but does he have the star quality to win Australia's best weight-for-age race?
