ATC Sires' Produce Stakes winner MANAAL (7) boasts a strong overall strike rate and was a last start winner in the G1 ATC Sires' Produce Stakes at this track over 7f. Rates to be in the finish. Group 3 winner LINEBACKER (2) showed good early speed from the inside draw last time and stalked the lead before going on to record a nose win over 7f in the G3 The TL Baillieu Handicap at Rosehill. Stiffer assignment here but he is right in this. Multiple Group 3 placegetter ANODE (1) was below his best last time when 4 lengths from the winner in seventh over 7f in the G1 ATC Sires' Produce Stakes at this track. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One to consider. Group 3 placegetter FEARLESS (4) lines up on the back of a 3.5 lengths sixth over 7f at this track. Should be involved in the finish.
