The 1400m course should suit Alligator Blood better, with I’m Thunderstruck the superior horse over further, but then Thunder has had the benefit of a run while Blood is first-up. “The Thunder” beat “The Blood” 4-1 in their match-ups in the spring, and while the former won a Group 1 and finished second in the Cox Plate, the latter had two Group 1’s to his name.
