The main race is the $1,000,000 Manikato Stakes. Read our 2020 Manikato Stakes Preview.
Written Beauty (Moonee Valley 6 No. 3)
This Written Tycoon filly has had three starts for two wins and a place. She jumped awkwardly but got to the front and raced away for a 6 length win over 1200m at Gold Coast on 6 June. She resumed from a 17 week break for a 2 length win over 1100m at Canterbury Park on 5 October. She has a lot of early speed and is capable of making it a hat-trick of wins.

Each Way
Dirty Work (Moonee Valley Race 8 No. 6):
This Written Tycoon horse from the Hawkes stable is a very fast sprinter who has 5 wins and 4 places from 16 starts. He was checked off heels before finishing 1.4 lengths 4th in The Shorts over 1100m at Randwick on 19 September, then jumped awkwardly but ran on strongly out wide for a narrow win in the Group 2 Schillaci Stakes over 1100m at Caulfield on 10 October. A great each-way chance and could win.

Best Lay
Groundswell (Moonee Valley Race 7 No. 3):
This Fastnet Rock gelding is the early favourite in this BM 84 handicap over 1500m. He finished 2.05 lengths 4th over 1200m at Caulfield on 19 September, then took over at the 200m and won by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at Cranbourne on 11 October. This is a much harder race and Moonee Valley is a tricky track so he does not look like value.

Key Comments The track is rated a Heavy 9 and the rail is +4 metres the entire circuit. It's a day for mud runners. Best Bet King Yoshi (Sunshine Coast Race 4 No. 3) He had no luck at all when resuming from a break and came home fast late with good closing splits. He had trialled well prior to that and won second-up last preparation. Hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each

Key Comments There is a 9-race program under the lights at Happy Valley. The rail is in the C+3 position for the meeting, and there is heavy rain forecast in the lead-up so the track could deteriorate. The first race is at 6.40pm Hong Kong time which is 8.40pm AEST. Best Bet Snowalot (Happy Valley Race 6 No. 2) Snowalot was a 0.5 length winner at this track and distance last start after being taken back from a wide barrier and running on

Key Comments The rail is true for the 8 race card on Anzac Day. The best bet got too far back on career start number 2 but hit the line hard and looks to get things to suit in its upcoming run. Best Bet Wembanyama (Randwick Race 8 No. 4) Loved the way it hit the line last start when not suited coming from barrier 12 on the tight Wyong track. Drawn better in this, maps for a lovely run and has the
