Manikato Stakes Form Guide & Tips
(1) I Wish I Win ($5.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Login to View Offers!Use Code: 'GOBET500'He ran good sectionals when closing off well in the Moir, but drawing wide will see him drop to the back of the field again.
The six-year-old is a seven-time winner with over $11 million in the bank, and he has class, so he could overcome the wide barrier and storm over the top of them late.
(2) Veight ($9.50)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Login to View Offers!Use Code: 'GOBET500'Coming off a spell is Veight, who won at Group 1 level at Rosehill last time out before placing in a recent trial.
He is a tough customer and he won his only start at The Valley, so we’re not overlooking his each-way chances at nice odds.
(3) Recommendation (Best Roughie – $12.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Login to View Offers!Use Code: 'GOBET500'Showing good barrier speed is a good way to win at The Valley, so Recommendation could make it four straight wins on Friday.
He rises in class for this start, but he owns good form at The Valley and that could be enough to see him grip on.
He has improved more than most runners in this field.
(4) Southport Tycoon ($21.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Login to View Offers!Use Code: 'GOBET500'He wasn’t too far away when running fifth fresh up, but he will be better over slightly longer distances later in the spring season.
(5) Johnny Rocker ($26.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Login to View Offers!Use Code: 'GOBET500'He pushed Imperatriz close last season, but there are some smart types here and he could struggle from the wide draw.
(6) Caballus ($35.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Login to View Offers!Use Code: 'GOBET500'We don’t think his form measures up well enough, especially after running ninth fresh up.
(7) Chain of Lightning ($31.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Login to View Offers!Use Code: 'GOBET500'A talented enough sprinter on her day, but we needed to see more from him fresh up.
He’s yet to fire in two starts at Moonee Valley, and it’s often a horses for courses track.
(8) Estriella ($6.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Login to View Offers!Use Code: 'GOBET500'She didn’t get all favours last time out, but she’s a talented sprinter on her day.
We expect her to settle wide again from barrier 10, but if she finds the front, she’s good enough to kick away with the win.
We’re not leaving her out, and money has come for her.
(9) Kimochi ($27.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Login to View Offers!Use Code: 'GOBET500'Take nothing away from her win last time out in Sydney, and she is good enough to sit close to the pace and kick strongly.
However, she rises in class for this race and she could struggle to figure in the finish.
(10) Climbing Star ($27.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Login to View Offers!Use Code: 'GOBET500'Never wise to completely rule her out, especially fresh up, but we’re going to leave her out of our selections.
Barrier 11 makes it a touch too tough for her, so wait for a betting punting opportunity.
(11) Coleman ($15.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Login to View Offers!Use Code: 'GOBET500'He has made a nice start to his career but there are two better 3YO types in this race.
(12) Growing Empire (Best Each Way – $4.80)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Login to View Offers!Use Code: 'GOBET500'A lovely type in the making and he was almost the best bet, but we opted for Hayasugi narrowly.
Getting in with 52kg and Craig Williams riding is ideal, and he has been excellent this year, winning his last four races in fine style.
His turn-of-foot rivals most in this field, so he can’t be left out.
(13) Hayasugi (Best Bet – $5.50)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Use Code: 'GOBET500'Login to View Offers!Use Code: 'GOBET500'We put the filly on top because she comes off a Group 1 placing behind Mornington Glory in the Moir Stakes, and she carries 50kg.
The daughter of Royal Meeting won three consecutive races last prep, including beating some of the best age-group runners in the land.
She’s untapped and ready to win another Group 1.
