oops...
I take Peddlers Cross for the guts that it has and the ability to just keep on going... Plus its raw speed will be tested coming up that hill.
Nothing against Menorah, i think it will be close, but Peddlers gets my vote here...

the Fly has had so much hype around it not sure who to go for here, will look again later and come back to this race, very hard to call
