I think the Rawiller / Boss difference is a big one. Nash slaughtered Haradasun in his last two starts, riding him 3 to 4 wide the whole race as if he was on ************ Kingston Town. He's yet to face a quality stayer and especially given the trip is a big query, i think theres a chance he may struggle. Desert War will probably get his own way up front, and will be very to run down over a strong distance for him. Railings is just starting to hit some form and will definitely be therabouts. HNPE is coming back to his best distance and the if the guineas is anything to go from he will come very close. Aqua D'Amore is the first quality stayer he has met, and if she wasn't playing up in the barriers and missing the start she may have beaten him over the mile. If Haradasun keeps running all over the place, then these guys will run over the top of him (and i don't know how much control 8-wide-Nash has). He is still learning as a racehorse, and come next season i'm sure he will run out a strong 2000m, perhaps 2040m but at this early stage going for three Group 1s in 15 days it will be tough (especially with his synthetic feet ).

Don't get me wrong, i'm a big Haradasun fan, and i'm sure he will run a good race and he is in my quaddies a multis, its just the $2.25 i'm worried about.
