Chuck,
can't agree with your assessment of Haradasun.
Two starts back settled well back,went to sleep,then cruised down the outside to win easily.
In the Doncaster Boss was instructed to ride him on the pace,box seated,got out at the right time and won easily.
Sure the other 2 were closing,but he held them easily on the line.
My only query is the 2000mts.
Be interesting to see where Nash is told to position him.
IMO he will be ridden back this time and come over the top of them,if he can run the trip.
If he does,he's gonna be at skinny odds for the COX.
Vasil is no mug,he knows what he's got with this horse,and if his last 2 runs were "tough"he wouldn't be going around in this.
He's got more ability than the rest of them put together.
Don't think (IMO) HNPE is as good as the Rogerson "hype"would have you believe.
He couldn't blow wind up Haradasun's you know what.
That will be proven today.
Have had my biggest bet of the year on this horse with
Sportsbet@2.35 fixed.
IMO great value and money for jam!
