GOOD EARLY SUPPORT TODAY FOR MIC MAC AND LUCKY SECRET

PUNTERS are finding it difficult sorting out a favorite for tonight’s Group 1 Manikato Stakes under lights at Moonee Valley with strong early support for Mic Mac and Lucky Secret.

Mic Mac has firmed from $5 to $4.5 with Mark Read’s IASbet.com and now shares favoritism with the David Hayes trained Nicconi while Lucky Secret has firmed from $6.5 to $5.

The only other money of any note in the Manikato has been for the Queenslander Phelan Ready in from $31 to $19. The Golden Slipper winner was a late scratching at Caulfield last Saturday and has struggled to find his best form this time in.

Other market moves of interest on tonight’s blockbusting Valley card include:

RACE 1: CERBRUS GAL $2.8 to $2.4 & CROWN RUBY $11 to $8.

RACE 2: COMMON INTEREST $1.90 to $1.80.

RACE 3: RUNNING RIOT $4.40 to $3.80 & SPARKLING SATINE $4.8 to $4.4.

RACE 4: FIFTH AVENUE LADY $7 to $6.

RACE 5: CARARA remains steady at $1.75. UNANUGGET $15 to $12.

RACE 6: LUCKY SECRET $6.50 to $5, MIC MAC $5 to $4.5, PHELAN READY $31 to 19.

RACE 7: AVENUE has eased from $2.8 to $3 following support for ROSTOVA $4.2 to $4 & FAINT PERFUME $19 to $13.

RACE 8: JOLIE’S SHINJU has eased $2.3 to $2.7 following a strong move for SHOCKING $9 to $6.5, MACO’REILLY $21 to $16 & BRITOMART $17 to $13.
