Manikato Stakes Tips, Bets and Race Preview

Manikato Stakes kicks off a huge weekend of racing at The Valley. Paulele won the Schillaci Stake at Caulfield a fortnight ago.

The Dawn Approach has been an outstanding horse throughout his career. He was unlucky not to win a Group 1 earlier this year. The Manikato Stakes is the perfect opportunity for him to do that.

Bella Nipotina won the Carlyon Stakes at The Valley and finished second in the Moir Stake here last time out. She has been kept fresh for this race and she should receive every chance again under Craig Williams.

Eleven Eleven is a three-time winner at the Magic Millions and finished third in the Winter Carnival this year. He might find some of his rivals a little too sharp, but he should finish in top spot.

No. 13 Best Of Bordeaux won the Canonbury Stakes and the Silver Slipper on debut in the autumn. He finished second in Golden Slippers. Last time out he won Roman Consul Stake.
