Hi Buster
I agree with that call, he just needs to put it all together and in races like these you can't give an inch.

if gamechanger can go clean they won't get near him!!!!!
Will have to go to the tapes only watched the Hondo Grattan & FAR's race at Menangle last night
Hey Nat
Common mate how could you miss these races lol.
I was at Melton Friday lucky I seen the Hondo Grattan & FAR's race
Fly Like an Eagle was excellent. Looked to be cruising all the way to the line, definitely the benchmark.
Soho Valencia was only fair, not sure he has the speed to match it with some of the others. Desirable Guy was also good and definitely has improvement in him.
In NSW, Medal of Honour and Type Thing both impressed me in their heat. Probably not in the same league as the Eagle but will make the final interesting. Gamechanger is fast but he will bring himself undone under pressure, will be a very smart 3yo IMO. Not sure he can mature quickly enough to worry the Eagle in this series.
Fly Like an Eagle has a mortgage on the series at this point.
Being a bit hard on soho Valencia, ran similar time to fly like an eagle and I bet he wouldn't have done anything since Bathurst, grand stride was also below his best after Bathurst
Soho Valencia was in a race Fly Like An Eagle was in a parade IMO he could have gone a few seconds quicker if asked will be an interesting finale
I heard from a mate yesterday that Gamechanger broke a carrying strap and/or got it tangled in up his go-straights so the 1:54.7 he posted was pretty damned wicked indeed. Missed most of the races 1st time around but when I watched the replay I initially thought he was getting on a knee...and maybe he was?... because it looked like JDP was really nursing him around the 1st & the home turns. I am pretty certain he is a big track colt, looks like he loves Menangle and I can't see him being at all thrilled by tight half milers...but as long as there are no tangle issues this time out...man oh man, BIG motor, seriously BIG.
Hey Triple
Did you see his run at Shep.
