Yes because unlike everything else he's not out of business from a poor draw.
Just looking at all the heats results and putting some margins to it from race times, maybe ITMQ has had a dream run and looks outstanding in the process.
Based on the best times of the heats and using ITMQ winning times, the result is
Heats over 1700m beaten 31.5m
Heats over 2100m beaten 42m
Heats over 2500m beaten 31.5m
Obviously each race is different but would his finishing burst been as good if he was on the pace, they are big margins.

As long he as he doesnt draw 1, Quinny will start fav and will win IMO
Yes, at every oppurtunity I've said ITMQ will win the final and I still think that now.
why can't ITMQ draw 1 and lead throughout?
He ran in differently run races. If anything thats a bonus he hasn't been busted.
Before coming over for the Miracle Mile he sprinted a 1.54 over the 2100m. That would beat everything from the heats putting a margin on time ran.
WA Cup over 2500m he ran 1.55.9 only Mr Feelgood went faster. Freo Cup over 2900 he ran 1.56.5.
He can sprint of fast first halves dont you worry about that P Plater. Just because he hasn't had to in the heats doesn't mean he has lost it.
Deserved favourite.
he wouldnt be able to cop the pressure from SU and still finish off.
If you ask the hall camp, thats the one barrier they dont want

Check this out. That horse is far from one dimensional. Drives like the Miracle Mile were a brain fart from Jr.
