Manaal going for two G1s in a week
Linebacker strong chance
MANAAL won the Sires Produce Stakes in heavy going at Randwick last week so the extra 200m should not be an issue because it takes stamina to win in the wet, prior to that win she ran 5th in the Golden Slipper. The unbeaten LINEBACKER is the one she has to beat though. He will be suited by the 1600m. In both of his starts he was the very strong favourite. Backing these two may be the way to go here.
