2026 Cox Plate nominations and Australian feature-race market

Fifty-seven horses remain after first declarations for the 2026 Cox Plate, including favourite Sir Delius, Sheza Alibi, Autumn Glow and 31 Group 1 winners. Chris Waller has 19 entries and no international contenders remain, leaving the developing market, race shape and strong 3-year-old contingent as the main form angles.
