Not Sure she gets this far at top speed ?

Silver mountain wouldn't run a place in this field so I think the 3 year olds are filling up numbers personally. Strikers switched to the other 3 year old so must be the more fancied of the two? I'm brassing the lot, happy to get thrown out the P6 if one of the 3 year olds pull off a miracle. if one of them do win then Noa from Goa must be an absolute superstar.

Must be on the wind-up surely? Mate- let's look at what she's done so far. She won the Choice Carriers from an impossible draw - maybe not so impressive but considering it was on the old course with the short straight - now that's something. The Fillies Guineas wasn't a race so I won't talk about that.

She got beat in the Guineas under a length. Now which of the 4yo fillies in the race had a pedigree like her at this stage in their careers? Which of these 4yo fillies was even thought good enough to take on the males in their 3yo careers? Silver Mountain attempted 2 Gr1's in 2 weeks - Only one horse has won the double, that should tell you how difficult it is to win it. Silver Mountain has only had 6 runs, there is plenty more improvement to come. Forget about using Bela-Bela, Our destiny etc to point to holes in her form - she's in a league above them.

Candice said that SM is already as good as Sun Classique and maybe even better. Now that should speak for itself. If you want to brass SM after one defeat then go ahead mate, she'll prove you wrong

If she had skipped her last run and decided to go for this race I don't believe she would've run a place. I don't think at this stage in her career she would be able to beat the likes of Same Juristication, Smart call and Inara over 1800m. She will progress into a great filly but I still think it would've been to early for her to beat the best fillies in the country over 1800m. She needs time but I don't believe she is as good as Majmu at this stage in her career which is where she'd need to compete in this race. I'm not using lines to brass any of the 3 year olds, I just don't think the crop is in the same league to be competitive in a race like this yet (if ever). I personally think majmu, Same jurisdiction and Sirens call would give Silver Mountain a clap all day every day but only time will tell :whistle:
