Onesmoothoperator was dominant. Watching live, I thought The Map was going to be right in the finish but when asked for the big effort, she just whacked to the line and was a bit on the plain side I thought.
Final Summary: She was going to be the clear #1 seed of the locals I thought, especially after a really good first up run, but the wheels have fallen off. I think still, she could be an outside top ten chance, but I’d want a decent price.
