Christen Me had to death seat last year whereas Beautide got a really nice trip. Christen Me won't have to do the same work this year and will be close enough. Showed in the Vic Cup he can beat Beautide home.
At the prices I would much rather be on Christen Me. Winner comers from those two one would think.
For A Reason probably just a tad off Beautide and Christen Me last year I thought and needs a lot nicer run to beat them. From that draw he won't get it. I have him a length and a half or two off the big 2 given the runs they will get. However, in my book Avonnova is a better 1 v 1 all things square horse than FAR. I know it's against popular opinion but Avonnova could well get a very nice run and win. He shouldn't be too far off anyway.
EOTE not good enough. Given the Avonnova result at Newcastle I don't think Stuey can win from that draw.
Guaranteed a bad draw as well. Put in a real nice run last time out but biggest test to date drawn there is a risk. Very capable though.
