Apache Cat - Favorite to win the Manikato Stakes
Horsebetting Tips for 2009 Manikato Stakes
Apache Cat is in fine form winning the Doomben 10,000 earlier this year. It’s amazing to think he He has won 17 black type victories! Apache Cat is all class over this distance – having twice won the Group 1 Australia Stakes at the same course and distance. Mic Mac will come close as well but I feel the Anthony Cummings trained Solo Flyer will fly home to win the Manikato Stakes.
Well, I’m a little biased here as I know the owners pretty well
Watch out for my favorite jockey, Damien Oliver, who is on board Russeting trained by Bart Cummings last trained the Manikato winner in 1998.
