Punters watching the Channel 7 coverage of the Cox Plate were no doubt impressed by the accurate representations that Deane Lester described about how the races would pan out at Moonee Valley on Saturday. It's skill and intelligence that subscribers of his Premium Race Day Package have gotten used to over the years.

In addition to Deane's speed maps punters were treated to a betting plan from a pro at work. Here is just a quick look at Deane Leaster's comments on a few of the winners he tipped last Saturday.

Race 1 #1. Arkansaw Kid Won and paid $2.70

1-4-5-----3. ARKANSAW KID looks to have speed and strength- going with him clearly ahead of MEXICO, SAILOR'S RUM and CAPPER THIRTYNINE.

Race 9 #10. Anamoe Won and paid $2.35 

10-4-6-12. Terrific field but ANAMOE has held them all season and can do it again- he's the one to beat ahead of MR BRIGHTSIDE, GOLD TRIP and EL BODEGON. Place- 1,2,5.

Race 11 #10. Bella Nipotina Won and paid $4.65 when tipped.

5-10-14-7-2. The inside draws look likely to dominate this race, going with PAULELE ahead of BELLA NIPOTINA, but giving chances to COOLANGATTA, ROTHFIRE and ELEVEN ELEVEN. Place- 8,9,13.
