As the weight for age championship of Australasia, the Cox Plate is very much the trophy that every racing purist most wants on their mantelpiece. Dominic Beirne assesses the runners in the 2011 Cox Plate.

Helmet has the figures to win. The withdrawal of Descarado is an asset his chances. He is drawn to gather speed down the straight, fast enough to pair up with Glass Harmonium before the first corner. Dominic Beirne would encourage jockey McEvoy to watch the replay 2008 Cox Plate.

Lion Tamer's two best ratings would assess him as the Value Bet.
