too big too strong...!!!!...amazing training effort

SSL only beaten 5.5 metres, huge performance......I raised my eyebrows at Shane's prediction of 1:50 outside the leader........we probably know it was not possible, but even so, his run was super, reverse the barriers, and a different result! But, "winners are grinners!"
I would be giving SSL an invitation to the Miracle Mile, at least "Triggers" record could be given a nudge! Not pretenders like BOB!
He is going as good as Avonnova, and he is in!
He deserves a start, as he has broken 1:50 at Menangle, and beaten Beautide in doing so! Not many have done so!

Personnaly I think the first three place getters were the best driven in the race, in particular Darren Hancock's effort, talk about giving a horse every chance! cracker of a drive!
