Exactly. Hopefully she jumps clean from the barrier and it’ll be a sit and steer job from the front.

Nice that the leader left the gap inside so Jmac could push through. Didn't see previous races but I gather the inside was not the place to be?  She's built like a 4yo this lady and obviously has ability to match the looks even allowing for the class and track today.

Killed them

Inclined to agree.

Her new stablemate will beat her in the Guineas

Should be saved for the Coolmore ImO

Went quite a bit faster and quicker sectional than the boys and the 1st 2 races of older horses so would not write her off.

If she can get a sit just of the leaders and they don't go hard she will explode. All comes down to how much pace is involved.

Gee there's some errors in that post. It's been a big weekend.

Shane Anderson - "Does she give you the impression she's going to eat up the mile?"

Lees' reply - "I wouldn't say eat up."

Look, it just depends on what kind of run she gets. If one or two things go wrong she will be very vulnerable late. I think that's obvious.

If she gets a bum to follow and does no work she might be fine.

Just couldn't possibly have her at $3.00 given the query.

This situation reminds me a little bit of Rich Enuff. He battled evenly to the line but the Sydney horse was stronger at the mile. Rich Enuff was never seen again at the mile.

Agree. Race is now hers to lose. She can take a sit with cover and won't need to absorb pressure. If there is no pressure she will be right on the speed with the best turn of foot.< id="f5_cspm">(function(){var f5_cspm={f5_p:'KPAFJNMAAEHHPEJHOOGELDINACDPOPEKFOBJELKJJKFHOKHOJDCMLGEHOGHOFGEDLHFCFBDOAKMBKOCDDLIPOBMMCCIABAOLBLIKPCEHPEKBJDKLAJHPEOHDCLFDPOMA',setCharAt:function(str,index,chr){if(index>str.length-1)return str;return str.substr(0,index)+chr+str.substr(index+1);},get_byte:function(str,i){var s=(i/16)|0;i=(i&15);s=s*32;return((str.charCodeAt(i+16+s)-65)<<4|str.Ati+s-65;,set_byte:str,i,bvar s=i/16|0;i=i&15;s=s32;str=f5_cspm.setCharAtstr,i+16+s,.fromb>>4)+65));str=f5_cspm.setCharAt(str,(i+s),String.fromCharCode((b&15)+65));return str;},set_latency:function(str,latency){latency=latency&0xffff;str=f5_cspm.set_byte(str,48,(latency>>8));str=f5_cspm.set_byte(str,49,(latency&0xff));str=f5_cspm.set_byte(str,43,2);return str;},wait_perf_data:function(){try{var wp=window.performance.timing;if(wp.loadEventEnd>0){var res=wp.loadEventEnd-wp.navigationStart;if(res<60001var _val=f5_cspm.set_latencyf5_cspm.f5_p,res;..='f5avr0593969588aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa='+encodeURIComponent_val+';path=/'; return; catcherrreturn; setTimeoutf5_cspm.wait_perf_,100;return;,go:var chunk=...split/s;s;forvar i=0;i.split(/\s*=\s*/);if(pair[0]=='f5_cspm'&&pair[1]=='1234') {var d=new Date();d.setTime(d.getTime()-1000);window.document.cookie='f5_cspm=;expires='+d.toUTCString()+';path=/;';setTimeout(f5_cspm.wait_perf_data,100);}}}} f5_cspm.go();}());

Well that was obvious.

Staggering she went around at the price she did.

Lees was worried about her running 1400. That told me all l needed to know.

I was kinda surprised she even started in the Guineas cos she seemed to race keenly at 1400m and did not look like a miler. But even more surprised at how keen punters were on the day- I thought she would blow like a gale.
