Wouldn’t buy in to mantra that Greatest Honour ‘doesn’t have to win’ with a set of connections that understands importance of a G1 opportunity ‘right here, right now’. Meanwhile, isn’t fact that contenders Collaborate, Known Agenda, Soup and Sandwich, etc., come off Lasix more of a concern? Pace a bit murky, but with some speeds outside and Nova Rags needing early position from the rail, expect a tempo that’s on a par with how the Fountain of Youth unfolded..
