Even being a huge Yulia supporter, I believe she could have easily beat Yulia here if she landed everything perfectly and did everything else with that same energy. Her ability to convey the overall performance is simply superior at this moment (but Yulia has also gone so far in that aspect in a very short time!)
In my opinion, Yulia is miles ahead of Polina. She is far more consistent, her spins are way better, her programs are more original, and she has amazing will power. I like Polina, but right now, I don't think she can even beat Gold.
