Solid tempo set by Anode and Linebacker who are both capable of leading. ATC Sires' Produce Stakes winner MANAAL (7) boasts a strong overall strike rate and was rewarded for her tenacity after having no luck in the Golden Slipper two runs back. Finally draws a gate today and no surprise to see her settle closer out to the mile. The one to beat. LINEBACKER (2) is a progressive colt who showed good early speed and plenty of grit late when a nose winner over 1400m in the G3 The TL Baillieu Handicap at Rosehill on March 30. This is tougher but looks up to the task. BROADSIDING (3) is on the quick back-up after rounding them up effortlessly as fav in the LR Fernhill over 1600m here last Saturday. Stable happy to roll the dice and J Mac sticks. ANODE (1) worked hard early in the heavy (8) conditions and found wanting when a tiring seventh over 1400m in the G1 ATC Sires' Produce Stakes at this track on April 6. Firmer deck helps and sharp improvement is expected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Manaal to win.
