this is how i rated them.
1 Air Cooled (NZ) (11) 59.0 6yo gr g (J Edwards at Geelong) J Mott (a 2.0)
"air cooled(good)(900)(caulfield)21-10-00)8"
tw 59.0, Factor: -3.3965

2 El Man Goss (5) 55.0 5yo b g (Ms C Paisley at Geelong) N Ryan
tw 55.0, Factor: 0.877

this puts air cooled 4 lengths ahead of El Man Goss. (on my ratings)
also Air cooled a listed horse .

Air Cooled drawn awkwardly in 11 El Man Goss drawn 5.
I think ratings should show a trigger as to why the connections think the horse can win. Air Cooled weight swing was very good.
Beaten an inch last start by a horse carrying 4.5 kgs less. El man Goss beaten narrowly by a horse carrying more weight than it.

a good result.
