Steven King put in the ride of his life to get Serenade Rose home last time the 2 met. Astronomia was ultra impressive in winning easily at caulfield and it is from that run that i am going to make my judgment, I am almost certain that if Astronomia led around the turn in the wakeful (still has me beat wy beadman didn't lead???) then serenade rose-whilst taking ground of astronomia the whole way home would have not caught her.
I believe astronomia lacks the spurt at the end of a race which serenade rose has proved she has but what i like about astronomia is the way she can lead and put together strong sectionals and also finish off a race. Not too sure if you can draw much from her last race in sydney in the Flight stakes but surely finishing a Half length to fashions Afield and getting within a nose of Mnemosyne is a fair effort and is definately closer than serenade rose has gotton to the best fillies around at the moment.
