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

Miss Finland isn't what she is cracked up to be. And she surely won't stay the 3200 like Cardus said.

I'm hoping Hayes keeps her out.

He should have sent her to America for the Oaks instead of Anamato and then let her cruise in our restricted company up here. Black type galore for Mares up here.

I agree...for the Miss Finland of this season. I do believe though that she was at least 5 lengths better last year.

She looks so one-paced this time around, nothing like the turn of foot she had last year.

Slightly off topic but the field for the Victoria Derby..... is Marching in?

Thanks in advance.

He is, and he's in the top 3 favourites with Villain and Kibbutz.

A good chance too, huge win in the AAMI Vase last start.
