Manangatang Race 7 - Nutrien Ag Manangatang Cup
The big one of the day and one of Victoria's most iconic country cups, which carries $40k in prizemoney. The bulk of it could be heading over the border with SA raider TYUSIX (3) getting in beautifully here. She'll appreciate not having Giggenbach for competition here and started fav against that galloper last start when beaten 2.5 lengths in a metro race in SA. Draws well and gets in well with 53kg after the claim for Olivia East. MIRACLE SPIN (1) is proven at this level, having won the Apsley Cup at Edenhope earlier in the year and he'll be much better for the first-up run. Does have a lot of weight to contend with, so he'll need an economical run but the draws presents the chance to get that. SAXON BLOOD (7) wasn't far away last start and won the two prior so he has to go in. DARTBOARD (4) hasn't been far away recently and can feature in the finish once again.

Most recently from last on the turn 7th of 11 in a Hcp at Coleraine on September 25 over 1800m, 3 len behind Mangione with 59.5kg at $5.50.

Returns from a 32-day let-up. At the latest run got back early 8th of 11 in a Bm56 at Moe on September 8 over 2069m, on heavy track; 9 len behind Tactfull carrying 61kg at $10. The race before that came from midfield and won by 2.25 len in a Mdn-Sw at Sale on August 21 over 1717m on a rain affected track defeating Just Basil carrying 59.5kg at $19. Only recently out of maiden grade and this might be a bit rich at this stage.

At the latest run ran on from midfield; 2nd of 9 in a Cl1 at Tatura on September 29 over 1450m, 0.8 len behind Mayeki with 57kg at $21. The race before that 4th of 8 in a Bm56 at Echuca on August 30 over 1600m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind The Quiet Immortal with 60.5kg at $8. This a step up on recent assignments and has a wide draw to boot.
