Slow tempo not as much sprint in the old boys legs its either go death on a slow speed or have to sit 3 wide the last lap giving Minstrel cover. I think Hall did the right thing.

Bull was fantastic but given the slow early speed I think Magnificent Storm to come from near last and 3-4-5 wide was the run of the race. To run past Freo Cup quinella in Minstrel and Patronus Star shows how massive it was. Given dist covered he would have gone close to 54 his actual last 800m covered of 2950m. Quinny probably the only horse who could have ever won from there.

Having watched it properly now, I would still rate the Bulls run the best, followed by Minstrel and Magnificent Storm.
