You are right Mac................Flying Ice is confusing because her run on Sat was to a very high rating (over 100 gross IMO) but appears to have improved by +-25 points from its first run..............its that improvement ?? which makes it so dangerous to be too brave with 2 yr olds............lol

Both Gain Ground and Swan Dance appear to have achieved gross ratings probably in the mid 70's and Miracle Rising as much as a 100+ ?????
2 yr old horses can improve dramatically of course(especially from the De Kock yard) but purely on EXPOSED form Miracle Rising should win by a street
(In her last 2 runs she had a total of 15 winners behind her)
What is a worry is whether Miracle Rising has been travelling to and from Natal, raiding ,or being stabled in Natal?
