Racing Odds: More Than A Side Glance At The Cox Plate
October 23rd, 2014 by Pom de TurfThe weekend of the Cox Plate is nearly upon us, and there will be owners and trainers in close communication as they look to prepare their charges for the big race. One of the horses who will be in amongst the Racing odds for the Cox Plate – and who could be a horse who has a say in the race – will be Side Glance, and it sounds like his preparations for race day are well underway.
Those preparations included a relaxed run out this week at Werribee, and Leanne Masterton, who was overseeing Side Glance, sounded pleased with him when she spoke to the press: ‘he felt great, really good, just an easy piece. Putting the finishing touches on him. He feels fantastic, he lost a few kilos (after the Caulfield Stakes), put that straight back on and feels really good. I think it will probably benefit him, having a race this year. He was fresh last year.’ And, looking ahead to the Cox Plate at the weekend, Masterton feels like the race could suit Side Glance: ‘there will be pace in the race. He has probably only made the running three or four times and most of the time he has come from behind. If he can sit handy we will be more than happy.’
Side Glance is up against it in the 2014 Cox Plate, though, in a field that features some seriously classy contenders. Side Glance is a $34.00 bet on Sportsbet today, while you’ll see odds of $4.40 for the favourite Fawkner and odds of $6.00 for Sacred Falls if you follow this link: Racing odds.
