A Cox Plate trifecta is a classic favourite among the exotic bets on the Ladbrokes-sponsored race at The Valley and will be well worth your while if you pick the winning combination. For a winning Cox Plate trifecta, you must correctly nominate the first three horses to finish the race, as well as their exact order of arrival in the weight-for-age Group 1 contested over 2040m in late October each spring.

Adding the favourite into the Cox Plate trifecta is a good exotic betting tip on the spring major!

This can be difficult, so many punters opt for what is known as a Cox Plate trifecta box bet. A box bet still requires you to pick the first three runners over the line, but it covers all combinations in terms of order of arrival. Cox Plate trifecta box bets cost a little more, but they do maximise your chances of success.

How To Pick a Cox Plate Trifecta

When it comes to placing a Cox Plate trifecta on the second of the ‘Big 3’ Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival features, make sure you take a good look at the Cox Plate form guide that gives you all the must know facts and stats on the race.

It is important to consider the favourite in your top three Cox Plate betting selections as the top fancies have a good record finishing in the money.

Four-year-olds have dominated the Cox Plate results in recent years so looking for the standouts from this age group lining up in the Cox Plate field is also a good Cox Plate trifecta tip.
