Is it looking likely that Grand Armee will meet Elvstroem? And even if it does happen will Elvis be good enough?

Very Unlikely, GA will be set for the BMW now, whereas Elvis' last race in Oz will be the Ozzie Cup, would be a great race though Elvis, Makybe, and GA.

Maverick,

I don't know about "left alone in front". They ran 2.00.9 on a dead and GA did the work. If they took him on he would have won by 30 lengths.

Not a case of left alone but a case of "he was going too fast all the way".

he probably would have won by 30 lengths...but wouldve liked to see someone atleast try and pressure him...The Trainer of Vouvray was quoted as saying he would be doing exactly that....
pressure can do some weird and wonderful things..

Could he now become a mini Might and Power? Straight to the lead in the BMW and setting a solid pace would break rivals' hearts. On a day where times were slow his was outstanding.
