The big\u00a0miler at New South Wales today with the Emirates being the crowd attraction for the crowds this weekend.\u00a0 A good classy field of 9 runners with\u00a0most of them really deserving of a run here\u00a0which should provide for a good finish.\u00a0 I like Whaddya Say<\/STRONG> to take\u00a0this out provided the drop in distance doesn’t hurt him too much.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Big purse too of $600,000 so a nice little pay packet to fund the evenings entertainment for the winner!<\/P> Gunna need an absolute ton of “cha cha” for this colt out of Kingmambo to win over this distance at this level after losing the lead twice in his last two races in the straight run to the line.\u00a0 That said seems to do it at 6 furlongs as well so maybe he just can’t run his races out to the finish.\u00a0 Has done well at Stakes level and deserves another chance with Graded company but I can’t see him winning.\u00a0 Might be lucky and grab a top3 spot. Had an excellent buildup in his last few races with 3 wins from Stakes to G3 level which culminated in early October with a flying 119 speed in The Harry Carey Memorial over the mile.\u00a0 That is super fast! Only had a smallish break though before trying his luck at G1 level which failed bigtime although he was starting to close at the end but did finish in 8th. Back to G2 here has a very big chance of winning this.\u00a0 Certainly if he puts out another flying run he will take it. Looks good and can probably run at this level but the distance is way too short for him.\u00a0 Has won at this level over the mile before but that was back in June where he posted a 112 for a solid win.\u00a0 Out of Montjeu(IRE) this 5yo looks like he is building back into some form but will need a very early windup to win over this distance.\u00a0 Would much prefer to see him pushed out to 10 furlongs or beyond to see what he can do. Second longshot of the race and although has been running mostly in Graded company and mostly at G2 company at that, has not been able to get the results at all since his last win back in April which was in the G2 Arcade Handicap posting a nice speed of 108.\u00a0 Very average looking now and looks totally out of form.\u00a0 A run on dirt last time out might shake something into him for the run back on turf today.\u00a0 Who knows… Two races back won over the mile with a fast 115 in the G3 Autumn Handicap. For his next prior win we have to go back to April where it was once again a speed of 115 at G3 level over the mile.\u00a0 Does look like he is wanting more distance than the mile to run in but has been able to put it together before.\u00a0 I would be pushing him out further to be honest.\u00a0 Has a chance here but more likely a top3 finish while still closing. In excellent form after winning over the mile last time out with a massive speed of 110 at Stakes level.\u00a0 Had a very big lead too of over 8 lenghts before just winning by under half a length.\u00a0 The other runners will have to be careful they don’t let this one get too far in front otherwise they won’t be able to catch him in the straight.\u00a0 Excellent chance here to win this today. Didn’t have a good run last time at G2 over 9 furlongs after what looked like a good build up in his previous races.\u00a0 Last win was only very recently in early October in the G2 Walnut BB Mile where he was able to win by over 2 lengths with a speed of 108.\u00a0 Only had a 2 week break before running again though which probably accounts for his poor showing in his last race.\u00a0 With a 4 week break now after that run hopefully is raring to go again.\u00a0 Needs that form back. Pretty much right on the limit of his minimum distance to run and probably wanting longer anyway if his last few races are anything to go by.\u00a0 Was able to win over the mile at this level back August and has had only the one run since then in mid October.\u00a0 Would prefer to see him over longer but he might be refreshed again to seriously challenge here now.\u00a0 In excellent superb form after taking 4 wins from his last 5 races at mostly Stakes racing with the one win at Allowance level. What stands out though is the speeds he has been posting all up\u00a0 over or close to the 110 mark.\u00a0 Not sure if this will be too short for him after looking very good over 9 furlongs but might be able to pick up his run earlier.\u00a0 Would be pushing for a top 3 finish at worst.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Emirates<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8648","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8648","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8648"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8648\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8648"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8648"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8648"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
