MANIKATO STAKES KEY RUNNERS<\/h2>\n
\n

1. I Wish I Win<\/strong> \u2013 Is the best sprinter in Australia. Last 10 starts have been at G1 level for 3 wins and 6 placings, most of them within 0.5L of the winner. Ultra consistent. The Moonee Valley track doesn\u2019t suit his style but if there is some rain and it is a swoopers track, he is a big chance.<\/p>\n

2. Veight \u2013<\/strong> Unbeaten fresh up, has won at the track and ran 2nd in quick Cranbourne trial recently.<\/p>\n

4. Southport Tycoon<\/strong> \u2013 Wore blinkers first time when 3rd in quick Cranbourne trial recently, +8.4 the quickest last 600m of 192 triallers on the day. Wears blinkers first time in a race here and is flying. Doesn\u2019t appear to like it wet.<\/p>\n

5. Johnny Rocker<\/strong> \u2013 Ran a clear career best this track\/distance when 2nd beaten a neck to Imperatriz in the G1 William Reid Stakes. Blinkers first time here, and query on the wet.<\/p>\n

7. Chain Of Lighting \u2013<\/strong> Plain first up. 1200m suits better. Wants wet.<\/p>\n

8. Estriella<\/strong> \u2013 Boom mare looking to prove herself at G1 level here. Bolted in winning 3 in a row last prep including the $1M Inglis Sprint before 5th in the G1 Robert Sangster. Resumed with a good Cranbourne 800m trial win under a hold by 4L in +1.2 time. Luckless first up when caught 3 wide no cover. In the mix.<\/p>\n

9. Kimochi<\/strong> \u2013 Strong win first up after racing wide no cover throughout. Different grade here.<\/p>\n

11. Coleman<\/strong> \u2013 OK first up in the Moir. Has ability but needs to lift here.<\/p>\n

12. Growing Empire<\/strong> \u2013 Boom 3yo who has won 4yo. Big step up in grade here and times mixed.<\/p>\n

13. Hayasugi<\/strong> \u2013 Won the Blue Diamond Preview, Blue Diamond Prelude and Blu Diamond Stakes last prep, then forget went around in the Golden Slipper. Looked good in recent Cranbourne 800m 26 Aug trial when 3rd under a hold. Finished strongly for 2nd in the Moir first up.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n
