Ignoring his Flemington racord and the stable saying they've finally got him right now, the knock I have on Runson would be all his impressive wins have come on tracks where rolling on speed has been no disadvantage at all.
If there's some kinda rail bias today that will help, but they always seem to be eyeballing you then swamping you at the 300 when down the straight. I think he's short enough, but no knock if you're on at better odds.
The weight doesn't worry me with Osborne Bulls, just don't really like backing horses after big runs like his Everest one.
Bons Away has been ticking over nicely for something like this and Havasay is a strong finisher who might be suited to the straight - a small win bet on each at the double figure odds.
personally wouldn't classify being beat by Redzel by 3 a "big run" probably held form in what may have been better ground which flattered him. backing up off heavy is more what i'd be looking at for a potential poor run. that said not keen despite having a fair bit of him in Everest multiples.
Runson would be my do not touch off massive spike horse.
