Ladbrokes Tip: Fillies might back-up from the Edward Manifold into the Thousand Guineas the next weekend

The Edward Manifold Stakes is a Group 2 race for three-year-old fillies contested at Flemington Racecourse on Turnbull Stakes Day in early October. One of the earlier Group 1 race meetings of the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival, the card is headlined by the $500,000 Group 1 Turnbull Stakes (2000m) for Caulfield Cup types.

The Edward Manifold is one of the key support races at the meeting and is one of three Group 2 events along with the Gilgai Stakes (1200m) and Blazer Stakes (1400m). Offering $200,000 in total prize money the mile clash is run at set weights and fillies often back-up the following Saturday in the Group 1 Thousand Guineas (1600m) at Caulfield Racecourse. The last Thousand Guineas winners to come off a run in the Edward Manifold Stakes are Commanding Jewel (3rd in 2012).

The latest edition of the Edward Manifold Stakes ran on Saturday October 5, 2019.

Edward Manifold Stakes Field

The Edward Manifold Stakes field attracts a line-up of the season’s most promising fillies displaying staying potential. Many of the youngsters in the race are early into their Spring Carnival campaigns and come off a non-Black Type lead-up, while others could have had a previous run in the Group 2 Thousand Guineas Prelude (1400m) in late September.

Fillies often use the race as a lead-up to the following weekend’s Thousand Guineas and in 2015 the Edward Manifold Stakes winner Badawiya ran third in the Group 1 next start, while the 2011 winner Mosheen ran second to Atlantic Jewel in that year’s Thousand Guineas before going on to win the Crown Oaks.

Runners may also be progressing towards a November run in Flemington’s Group 1 Crown Oaks (2500m) during the Melbourne Cup Carnival. In 2013 the Edward Manifold Stakes third placegetter Solicit ran second in the Ethereal Stakes, third in the Wakeful Stakes and third in that season’s Crown Oaks.
