Yes, I think your assessment is right Rogan Josh. Did get a little carried away with the flogging description. Adding the Goldophin factor, Hatha Anna does look a better proposition at the weights. So hard to line these OS horses up! With regard to Miss Meliss, she could be Bart's better chance of the two, Equine Investor. She is nicely bred, but still a maiden I think! Would be a fantastic acheivement, if only she made the field, but what a genius he is, and hate to bet against him. Magical Miss though worries me a little. She was 3yo when she won the Oaks at set weights, and just wonder about her ability at the end of 3200 to stay strong. If she wasn't with Bart, I would have to pot her. Danehills just don't like 2 miles. May be a different proposition at set weights against fillies, but would have to say the more seasoned staying types would have her measure. Still, would be happy to be proved wrong if she takes it out. She does look promising. Will have to check out her Dams Sire, Spectacular Bid. I know he was a champion, but think only at a middle distance? I mean, if Magical Miss was to be a chance, then surely the 4yo Mare Manang would be an equally good chance, being a Zabeel, and with Freedman. Sadly though it appears something is amiss with her after being scratched last start. It's a bit of a shame for the Freedmans, she was their only chance...
