Shortest win price
Geegees Mistruth (1)

Welcome to Caulfield for the Manhari Alinghi Stakes, a Listed 3UP F&M SWP clash over 1100m on a Good 4 track under fine skies. Punters looking at the win market have Geegees Mistruth sitting right at the head of affairs, closely followed by Photograph, Signature Scent, and Eagle Express in the early betting order. It is shaping up as a fascinating tactical battle over the short trip with plenty of quality mares lining up for a crack at black-type success this Saturday afternoon.
Taking a closer look at the form behind those shorter prices, top-weight Geegees Mistruth lines up from barrier 6 for jockey Blake Shinn and trainer M W Walker boasting a tidy 21-start career with 7 wins. She ran on soundly from midfield at this venue last start when second-up and looks ready to peak third-up as a proven distance specialist. Signature Scent comes in from barrier 9 for Ethan Brown and trainer C Maher after a very game effort when runner-up in Listed quality company at Morphettville over 1100m, quickening willingly off the pace. Meanwhile, Eagle Express draws barrier 3 for Damian Lane and C J Waller, dropping back slightly after landing handy and chasing hard behind the winner in Benchmark 88 grade at Rosehill.
Looking further down the race setup and speed map, we see Stardom and Gentle Steel listed as the early leaders drawn nicely in barriers 5 and 1 respectively, which should ensure a genuine tempo up front. Photograph handles an off-midfield map position for Ben, Will & Jd Hayes and Mark Zahra, looking to bounce back after finding herself too far back over 1200m here previously. With a mix of hardened speedsters and backmarkers ready to swoop, punters should find plenty of value unpacking the yarn as they jump at 1:25 pm AEDT.

Ran on soundly from midfield this venue when second-up. Ready to peak third-up. A distance specialist. Stripping fitter, highly rated in this line-up.
ILB
Edged past some when finishing 5th last start at the track and hard to fault at this distance. Has a nice turn of foot. Will find this grade easier. Winning chance.
RP
Has been fairly consistent lately and a good record at this level; solid run in the Group 1 Manikato Stakes 20 days ago; an easier task than her previous race; strong claims if replicating her best form.
RSIS
Passed some rivals in the late stages when 5th last start at this venue and competing at a lower grade. Finishes off strongly. Hard to fault at the distance. Tough competitor.

Positive
Has won 2 from 4 when resuming
AAP
First-up (17-weeks). Brought on with two polished trial hitouts and is a first-up winner. Can make her presence felt.
ILB
Resuming. At $15.00 faded away when 7th last start at Ipswich and will try to take advantage of the barrier. Back to a shorter distance. Much prefer the look of others in this race.
RP
Record shows she knows where the winning post is (wins-runs career record of 6-13); solid effort at Ipswich four months ago in a Listed handicap; has won in classy company before and prospects.
RSIS
Racing fresh today after a break. Started 14/1 and peaked on the run when 7th last run at Ipswich and drawn nicely. Will be facing a significant drop in distance.

Performance just fair at Mornington at $14. Usually gets back. Could be running on into the money.

Jumped at $14.00 and came in 6th last run at Mornington and up against stronger competition. Needs significant improvement.
RP
Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Mornington (beaten 3½l) 21 days ago in a handicap; has achieved three wins from ten career runs; facing a tougher assignment than last time, there are better alternatives here.
RSIS
Started 13/1 and came in 6th last time at Mornington and up against a more competitive field.

Positive

Kept fresh. Ridden cold and never in the picture at Sandown-Hillside off spell. Jump-out winner since. Place hope.
ILB
Let up. Was $21.00 and looked outclassed when 8th last run at Sandown and up against a more competitive field. Others are more appealing.
RP
Last of eight at Sandown last month in a handicap; successful three times from 14 career runs; she should go close based on the pick of her form and this step up in class unlikely to hinder her.
RSIS
Back from a freshen up. Started 20/1 and didn't find the line when 8th last time at Sandown and competing at a higher level of competition.

4 weeks since last run. Great run at Randwick 22 Aug. Sent forward but flat-footed when things got serious this venue second-up. Sharper now, not out of this.
ILB
Odds of $17.00 and tailed off to finish 8th last time at the track. Will be positive in the run early. Watch betting.
RP
Beaten 6l into eighth over 6f here (Group 3, not far behind Photograph) last month; proven that she knows how to get her head in front (seeking a fourth career win); this is a step down in class; respected judged on finishing second two starts back.
RSIS
Odds of 16/1 and folded up in the straight when 8th last time at this venue. Displays good tactical pace. Watch betting.

Resuming (24-weeks). Draws to do no work. Winner at only other start at Caulfield. Has some claims fresh in this affair.
ILB
First up from a break of 24 weeks and brave effort to win narrowly by a long neck first up last preparation at Caulfield Heath. Has the ideal alley. Not threatening these.
RP
Not beaten too far when sixth of 12 in a handicap at Bendigo in May; has won over C&D; wins achieved at a lower level; returns from a layoff here; this demands more than last time so unlikely to do better than a supporting role.
RSIS
Resuming and was fighting out the finish when winning by a long neck resuming last preparation at Caulfield Heath. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Drawn well.

Freshened. Landed handy, unable to go with winner in Benchmark 88 company at Rosehill second-up. Drawn to effect. Warrants attention.
ILB
Nice effort to run into 2nd last run at Rosehill but competing in a higher grade. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Has some claims.
RP
Not beaten far when second five weeks ago (Rosehill) in a handicap; resume shows that she is a proven winner (seeking a sixth career win) but yet to win a race of this value; probably unlikely to trouble the principals with tougher test on the cards.
RSIS
Claimed a spot in the placings when 2nd last time at Rosehill but racing in stronger company. In the top three at every start lately. Respect the betting.

Now 5 weeks between runs. Very game at Morphettville over this trip when raced off pace and quickened willingly at $11. Among the dangers again.
ILB
Right in the mix last time at Morphettville but challenged by more formidable competitors. Could take this out.
RP
Beaten a head (Morphettville) 35 days ago in a Listed handicap; likes this combination of C&D; has gained all her wins at a lower level.
RSIS
Missed by a narrow margin last start at Morphettville but facing stiffer opposition. Solid claims.

4 weeks since last run. Raced in back half and was never in a position to mount a serious challenge this course. Worth a look.
ILB
Was $10.00 and ran 6th last time around here. Overlooking the last run. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.
RP
Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 4½l) in a Group 3 four weeks ago; has done all her winning at a lower level; makes limited appeal despite dropping in class.
RSIS
At 9/1 ran 6th last run at this venue. Giving another chance here. Has a great burst of pace late. One of the punters top hopes.
