But then surely Marinaresco did it the hard way too? 2nd or 3rd last turning for home in a big field - cruised to the front then seemed to tire a bit but still won with authority. Distance short of his best, remember his finish in the Derby. Coming off a 3 month layoff while whisky baron was racing fit all plays a factor. Sure he'll be fitter today and love the extra but one thing against him is the short run in I give you that.
I think Vilakazi will be a big threat too, with a better draw than last time.
The form tells me that Paladin was a length behind Marinaresco in the Derby in January - on the new course - now today it' s of course the old course, and Paladin from draw 3, is going to make them come and catch him - not saying he will beat the favorite, but at 16/1 vs 6/10, its clear where the value lies :huh:
