TAB EDWARD MANIFOLD STAKES
The fillies clash here and we're siding with the Sydney form of JUST A JOURNEY (5) who is building a good record. The return at Warwick Farm was good when edged out by the smart Tuileries before a tough win as favourite at Canterbury. She led there but the gallop was strong and she won well against the older horses. J-Mac takes the ride and she should take plenty of catching. Of the Melbourne fillies, YUM (4) is hard to knock off a fast finishing win in the Jim Moloney Stakes last time out, charging through off a strong speed to win well. She'll have no issue at 1600m. ZANY GIRL (2) was just behind Yum there in a good effort when covering ground out wide. She could land closer from the inside draw now. SPICY LU (3) was better in the Jim Moloney and could now be pushed forward third up. LATHLAIN (8) has support there but had excuses with a tough run and could improve.
