He wouldn't be quick enough on firm ground, but from all accounts there is no chance of firm ground. If it's good or softer it will help him a lot.
Weight stops trains, and he hasn't really got anything on his back. He won over both ten and twelve furlongs at the beginning of the year and i think people just assume he is slower than he actually is, just because he won the Queens vase. In the Leger he set a really good gallop, and if he hadn't have stumbled, i still think he would have won. Even with that stumble, if that race was over two miles , he probably would have got back up close home. I'm a complete novice when it comes to Oz racing, and i know very little about the others. I know Mahler will stay, i don't think he is THAT slow and he has a very good racing weight. My worry is the jock, who i have had a few bad reviews of from people into their Aussie racing. My heart is probably ruling my head, but he will still be my selection.

Not my pick but am still refusing to give up on Maybe Better.
I know, I know, off the board but hope he does well. Sometimes I hate being so damned sentimental. Nah, not really.  Think I might go with Efficient here, even though he's disappointed me.....

The Main difference we find between horses is actually racing style.
Here we have alot of horses & they dont like giving each other any room so basically its a tight race for some reason europe horses dont like this & race poorly in this race last years grey swallow being one. Having said that this year is alot different with the other states not being able to compete & the winning of last year by japans quality duo

Sounds like it's most likely to be a dead track tomorrow, which is not very wet ground by UK standards (probably somewhere around the good/good to firm region). So it should suit Mahler fine, but maybe some others will have more acceleration than they would have had if the track had been a bit wetter.
I'm just going to be waving the NZ flag here. Go the Princess. Sculptor too, although he really needed it slow or worse to be a genuine hope.

Changing my pick to Zipping and that's that. Efficient won't do it here and as much as I wish, neither will Maybe Better.
Good luck everyone and come home safe ALL of you.
