Scenic Peak was wide all the way at MV, doesn't go his best on the track and had had his inoculation for Hong Kong a day or so before the race. Those injections are known to potentially affect a horse for a couple of days and it could have also been the reason why Falvelon was below his best on the same day only to bounce back to much better form his next run. His falure at MV and improved performance has nothing to do with the track bias etc.

Regardless of the reason for his previous failure, he was much better suited at Flemington on Saturday....he was drawn to get a perfect run and was on a much firmer track.
