Morgan, my observation is that Mantra was clearly getting to her coming to the home turn but what really lost it for her was that she wobbled around the home turn (quite awkward). I was surprised that there was so little between them at the winning post. I would have thought that Mantra, getting up on the rails, would have won more comfortably. To be honest Mantra was the one I was most watching. I thought he had at least as good a chance as did the Queen but she was odds on and him was in the 'black' in more ways than one. In fact, come to think of it, she was in the 'red' in more ways than one. Graham Jose talking on Sydney 2KY radio yesterday morning sounded quietly confident about Mantra's chances. Good luck to him but I look forward to the Queen winning many more races. Made to Size ran well, not sure if he had been trialled at Sandown recently.
