This is mainly where speed raters get smashed. Everyone would agree the Filly was clearly superior on the day in the raw result. You can’t really debate it. But you can declare the fillies last run much better and still be on the colt here.
Race 1: Faster and superior rating AND they get 2kg claim. Somewhat unexpected at big odds, also makes it questionable to repeat given its so high a performance. (This means less for 2yos)
Race 2: Horse does it hard against the pattern and tempo. Short price perfect profile.
Hanseatic obviously didn’t rate to his top and you are backing him on improvement which to be honest was evident he had based on his last start. The Filly you are backing to hold and Hanseatic not elevate. Yeah if there was a big gap you can look to the time and call it but it’s tight. Gut feel without rating the races is I’d be on the Filly because I’m never on that Hanseatic type. Price differential too large at this stage.
If Hanseatic wins everyone goes hah times mean nothing but it’s on the wall he’s a deserved fave.
