It's a long straight though and the horse behind the leader can usually get a run.

Sushi Sushi
Smokin Up

Looking forward to the race.

Hi All,

I am a long time reader but new to posting.

I am thinking that Sugars will let Sushi roll off the arm at his own speed and work forward to find the front eventually. I can't see him handing up to Smokin Up, rather he will be happy to let him death seat and try a win it on the home turn. Ballarat has a funny home turn and Smoken Up won't handle it as well as Sushi.

If the speed is hot, which it will be, I'm tipping The Gold Ace to storm home and roll both of them!

Fpr me i hope Sushi can win Harness need a new horse to publicise the sport.

The draw has made this very interesting , alot of speed drawn inside sushi so its not likely he will get across without doing a power of work. And SU got beat from a bad draw in the cup last year , it certainly is a mouthwatering clash i would have to lean towards Smoken up , he will end up outside the leader at some point and we all know he can win from there. I will have something little each way on Pembrook Benny from the draw.

Smoken Up
Pembrook Benny
Sushi Sushi

Pembrook Benny could hold the lead if he wanted, but i expect him to hand up to Melpark Major. Sushi will be the first to the breeze and then Smoken up will come round and give him cover.

I have a feeling SU gets rolled tonight

Am also having something on PBenny ew

PS - there is a lovely full sister to PBenny in the NZ yearling sales:):)
