BMW STAKES:makybe diva V grand armee
Diva all day

Don't see why Elvis won't come down for it as well.

cos he knows he isn't going to beat the greatest staying mare of all time!

Grand Armee by 2399 metres

i guess it will be that or nothing

Grand Armee gets all the ticks here, racing brilliantly, had a perfect prep, looks ready for the distance, home ground advantage. Makybe however much i love her has the task at hand, quick backup; which she's never had, especially after a gutbuster like the Aus Cup. Also has to travel mid week and perform the other way. I think she will be unders and Grand Armee will win.

Don't fall into the trap of writing off Diva if it's a slow pace. Make no mistake, she has as explosive a sprint as anyone over distances. If she's within a few of G.A. at the top of the straight, she'll get him with the weight pull. And don't get me wrong, I may be from Melb. but I am a big fan of G.A. As I said in a post recently, I actually think he's underrated, but put it this way: in a two horse race b/w the two over 2400+ at WFA, anywhere, she'd beat him every single time.
