Made ground, Raw. Came from 9th early, 8th turn. Very strong and was picking the winner up well on the line. They both went very well, were both strong on the line and both pulling away. Would love to see the sectionals, would think greys inn's finals would be very impressive.

That impressed me as a very, very high strength race. The way they went, both of them bolting strongly on the line I thought my God they're going well. Two very good horses.

I personally think Greys is a better horse than Super Kid, but Super Kid's run at the 1400m 1st up was enormous for a miler. For me that proves the quality.

The expert form ratings have them really strong too. Both of them rate better than all the Aussie chances, except for the Diva of course, but I seriously doubt her 126 rating can be reproduced at 2040m. I suspect she is an absolute max of about 122-3 that trip. Best she's ever done career so far that trip is 121 winning the Australia Cup. That may actually be her 2000m max. If it is, she's very vulnerable to the HK raiders. However here 121 will beat Fields and Lad if she repeats it, Fields best rating is 121 winning his Cox plate, Lad rated about 120 or so in the Feehan. They give her weight, of course, which would be the difference.

Super Kid has a 125 in HK and regular 121's. Greys Inn rated 123 behind Vengeance that day. If he goes 123 in Cox, it's over.

For your interest - Might and Power rated 127 in the Caul Cup. He's the best they've rated. Initially they thought Super Impose rated 128 but it was only about 124 when he won his Epsom.
