    “So much for her needing softer ground then”

    Who? Kalpana?
    On race times and form – for me – she was the one at the top of the market most likely to act on the ground. Too much is made of “winning” on the surface. Kalpana’s best form includes against Calatagan and Whirl.

    Estrange ran a blinder considering she didn’t settle at all (still pulling turning for home) and had to force her way out off the rails pretty much at the same time the winner kicked for home.

    I think it would be worthwhile to keep Estrange in training another year and maybe look to the G1s in Germany (like Sir Mark Prescott did with Alpinista) where they tend to have soft ground quite often and they are a bit easier to win.
