Is there anyone that disagrees that this would be a better race over 2300m?
EOTE, ananova and SSL to go nuts three deep for first 800. Beautide and gaurenteed to fight it out. Sub 1.50
Is there anyone that disagrees that this would be a better race over 2300m?

Agree! Who would you be on Kev? I know that I'd still be on Gauranteed and Christen Me.
On preparation and experience I would have to go for Beau (I think?!)

I just have a feeling that these horses are really catching up to Beautide, and if Beautide does still dominate, it will be for 1 more season. Again, I have been wrong before I can't wait until LTS is back..
You may well be right Ev, I just like him this time as he has had the perfect prep - being set for this and not going up and down in distance like the NZ campaigners (and of course he has runs on the board)

He is the one to beat for sure, but he definitely can be beaten IMO.
They can ALL be beaten guys, and this current crop of top liners is certainly a bit more even matched than we have seen in recent years with the dominance of horses like Blackie, Trigger and Quinnie, but I know I'm beginning to sound like a broken record, but in my humble opinion, Beautide IS the emerging star, what the horse can do during a run.... against the best available....when right, and don't forget the horse was an M0 horse 15 months ago.....the people managing him are still learning about how to get and keep him top notch! I will eat humble pie if he gets a reasonable run and gets done over the next short while, but I don't think I will be able to tell you what humble pie tastes like somehow.

not so sure this will do the trick.....bit like sitting in the death going 1:50 at Newcastle....a dream gone wrong......
I do hope we don't see a repeat of last years mobile barrier speed, it was farcical.
I have 2 bones of contention with what Tritton has said......1 Stuey has now had two chances to cross Nova and hasn't gone close to succeeding. What makes him think Satdy night will be any different? 2 if Nova does let Stuey across it would be lunacy to set up a sub 1:50 speed with him in the death.....surely, in this instance, Lauren would be let run to the top.
