Who wins going 9f Vale Dori or Songbird?

Songbird has shown she can settle behind a frontrunner if need be, whereas the only two times Vale Dori was not on the engine (the Bayakoa and the Adoration) she was chasing pure sprinters (Sensitively and Gloryzapper). In that respect, I'd think Songbird had a slight tactical edge if she could sit off the other and hound her to death.
But the reality is that they'd probably hook up at the 3/8s or 1/4 pole a la Skip Away and Gentlemen and set it up for some stretch runner (Abel Tasman without Smith?).
