She is a dynamic horse, but I cannot see her lasting the 3200m.

Hayes was quoted in the Herald Sun's Wednesday edition that if she does not perform well on Saturday, then she will be turned out to return in the autumn for races at 1600m. How do you say that and expect that she'll stay on for two miles? And if that in itself is not enough, how will she stay the 3200 after running 2000m. twice in a week's span, within nine days of the Cup?

the mckinnon is a great pointer for the melbourne cup but i dont like miss finlands chances
