Assuming of course Lance does hold the lead, i think only ITMQ can outsprint him if he is right on Lances back 150m from home.
Lance will be trying to run 1:48 again so it is a mammoth task for all challengers.
ITMQ drawn 3 doesnt necessarily get the sit, Lisagain has first dibs on that suckalong spot, and who wouldnt want that! Does this leave ITMQ in the death or does a kiwi have a go at being tough guy there? Again assuming a 1:48 attempt is on the cards, and that is Lances only hope of winning i think, he doesnt want to go too slow (see NZ Cup) and get outsprinted by another slingshot.
Will b a great race, go Smoken, go sub 1:50...
Having watched all the lead up races, which runner except Smoken Up, would be capable of making this race a sub 1.50 run race.
[VVV] So do I. I think he'll be Cherry ripe for this assignment.Originally Posted by ringman
My fearless selections:
1) Im Themightyquinn
2) Franco Jamar
3) Smoken Up
BTW, I have been known to be wrong with my selections in the past ........ maybe once or twice
Not sure too many will want to go to war with Lance up front early. The emergency Garnet River is possible the only runner in the field that COULD outpace Smoken Up off the arm but will more likely miss a run.
I am a fan of the 4yo from NZ, I think there is scope for improvement and he whacked away nice after being 3 wide for the first 600m and then death seating the rest..... All that said I am going
1) Smoken Up
2) Im Themightyquinn
3) Terror To Love
4) Franco Jamar
Good Luck To All...
Im not convinced Smoken Up is going up as well as he he was earlier this year. Mr Feelgood outsprinted him as did TTL.
I reckon he will get beat. ITMQ is the obvious one, but I also give good chances to TTL and FJ
I know Smokin Up has proved me wrong time and time and time again...but I am like you mightymo, not sure he's going as well, therefore my selections are (I must remind everyone that the last Miracle Mile winner I picked was Locarno, 1980)
Franco Jamar
Mr Feelgood
Smokin Up
Im Themightyquinn
Looking forward to it - good luck all.
The more I think of it the more it seems a swoopers race.
Lance will set some cracking sectionals. If ITMQ doesn't get a breather mid race he might pull his head off and be done.
That could mean FJ, TTL, or Mr Feelgood. Has Luke announced which one he's driving yet?
Super race coming up. Can't wait
