A full field of 14 will contest the latest edition of Australasia’s weight-for-age championship in Saturday’s $3 million Group I William Hill Cox Plate (2040m).
Godolphin trainer John O’Shea withdrew Contributer from the Cox Plate on Tuesday morning, leaving the Moonee Valley Racing Club with little to do when deciding the 2015 field.
The Chris Waller stable had mixed fortunes at the draw with Winx coming out with barrier one while Kermadec and Preferment drew barriers nine and 10 respectively.
Grand Tasmanian galloper The Cleaner drew barrier two while the international runners Highland Reel and Arod will start from gates four and five respectively.
Below is the field and barrier draw for the 2015 Cox Plate.
