If SSL wins maybe aussiebreno can do his run down the back straight at Menangle, if they have the normal cameras he will be that far away that his dignity will be protected.
1.50(sub)sitting outside the leader would be an astonishing run around Newcastle and I'll be absolutley gobsmacked if SSL can do this, Not doubt that Stuey has speed to burn and has proven he can go Sub 1.50 at Menangle but Newcastle is a whole different kettle of fish.
NSW iForm predicting Suave Stuey Lombo will lead. I think we already know that Avonnova will get to the pegs first & hold the lead. Suave Stuey Lombo sits in the death. The pace will be on the whole way...no breather in this one. If SSL can sit in the death for the entire trip & win in track record time then i take my hat off to him. My tip is Avonnova & he is still value @ $3 with sum bookies rather than $1.70, $1.80 about SSL.
Why do I get the feeling that both Nova and Stuey will get rolled? If I had to choose between them, I'd have to go with Avonnova
Reckon your spot on Mathew.
SSL (8) didn't come close to crossing Avon (3) in the Len Smith earlier this year and surely that feat becomes even tougher with them drawn side by side tonight. Therefor, the markets out there are way off IMO.....I marked them $2.50, $3- Avons way. That said, I'm not totally discounting Stuey. He did sit outside and beat stablemate Mach Beauty in 1:49.6 earlier this year.
I took what I thought was the value earlier in the week.....Avon @ $4.20 + the field to beat Stuey @ $2-
Should be a great spectacle. The question is......will Breno be reaching for the rosary beads when they come to the 400??
Cheers mate. Yes dont know how iform thinks SSL will lead. As you said it is more difficult to cross when drawn next door to each other. Early advantage Avonnova. I took $4.20 Avonnova with bookmakers.com.au. It is now $3. SSL beat Beautide in 2 of his recent wins. Beautide had to sit parked in 1:50 mile rate which is hard to do & SSL will hav to do the same here. Not knocking SSL's talent at all, will just be difficult to sit outside leader over the mile when they run 1:51. Track record is 1:52.6 which i think will be smashed! It will be a great race to watch.
