Who could break the MM race record

[p plater]

Looking for something to create a discussion and had a look at MM race times at Menangle.

First running in 2009 when Monkey King won by a neck over Smoken Up in 1.50.8
Second running in 2010 won by Smoken Up in 1.50.3 (current race record)
Third running in 2011 again Smoken Up in 1.51.8.

With some stars missing this time, how fast will they go and can they break the race record.

For me at this stage Excel Stride looks the one to beat

It won't be Excel Stride Bailey. Wins it for mine, but no record. The next MM if he turns up, Christen Me might give it a nudge.

For me Terror To Love in no better than 1:50.5.
