head-to-head
Battle of the Scenics
Here is this week's Head-To-Head. Scenic Blast vs Scenic Shot at 1600m. Why 1600m? Because 1600m is not a suitable distance for Scenic Shot however he did win at the distance and as for Scenic Blast - he did place at the distance thanks to his 2nd in the 2007 Caulfield Guineas. If the distance was any shorter Scenic Blast would win and if the distance was any longer and Scenic Shot would win so the distance of 1600m makes for an interesting battle I think.

Agree, Blast too suspect over the mile Yep, being a bleeder - there's no way he's going to get a strong mile over the likes of SS

not sure who would win but would love to own a small share in either! What a grand old campaigner SS was!
