2018 Manfred Stakes: Tips and Race Preview

3 minute read

Tips and Race Preview for the 2018 Manfred Stakes at Caulfield on Saturday comes out of a Flemington lead up.

Prezado ran so well there behind a good horse and is $3.50 at Sportsbet in the 2018 Manfred Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield on Saturday.

2018 MANFRED STAKES – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Speed isn't obvious. From the wide draw Overshare is likely to be positive and the lead looks there for the taking if he wants it.

PREZADO was terrific first up from a break, stretching a very smart one in Nature Strip and confirming the strength and promise of his big Cup Day win back in the spring. Looks very well placed here on the back of that. Just has to bring his Flemington form to Caulfield.

BRAVO TANGO was a big eye-catcher behind him. Barrier and the wishy-washy speed are the issues for him here but expecting him to be powering late in the piece.

MURAAQEB was narrowly edged out by Kentucky Breeze at the back of last prep. That pair can measure up. Cliff's Edge will want further but he has the class to figure all the same.

Form Preview

Cliff’s Edge, winner of the Norman Robinson Stakes (Gr 3, 2000m) at this track in October, who was having his first run since sixth in the Mackinnon Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m) at Flemington on 11 November, was an impressive first-up winner. He travelled nicely in fifth place on the rails before getting along the inner from the 200m. He got to the front on passing the 100m and then fought back to win well. He looks set for a very good preparation. Overshare raced third place (without cover), improved nicely (three wide) rounding the home turn, challenged strongly at the 200m and then fought on really well for a good second in a smart second-up effort. Muraaqeb raced back in sixth place, one off the rails, moved up (under riding) at the 300m, challenged at the 200m and battled strongly for a close-up third. I Did It Again raced outside the leader (No Dreams All Hope), briefly got to the front at the 200m and then held on well for fourth, beaten less than a length.
