one of my biggest worries for Mahler is that he is so so one-paced. fair enough, we know he stays 2 miles, but I think you really need a 10-12f horse for this race. you need that type of speed to get a good early position and have a finishing kick. thats why i thought Imperial Stride would have been an ideal type!!.. I wont forget the day I saw Master O'Reilly come from last to first about 10 wide and win ridiculously easily. he has the speed to win over shorter and Ive got my 16-1 betting slip tucked away nicely..
