Manikato Stakes 2026 Tips, Predictions & Best Bets

Manikato Stakes 2026 Tips, Predictions & Best Bets

• Daryl Curnow
We have Manikato Stakes tips and predictions for the Group 1 1200m race at Caulfield on Sunday. Manikato Stakes odds have Beiwacht favoured to win his second consecutive Group 1, and the Godolphin runner will prove tough to get past. There has been some concern with punters about the drop from 1400m to 1200m, but we think Beiwacht is a quality sprinter, and he could show why in the Manikato Stakes. The Chris Walle-trained stallion will head straight to the front with Nash Rawiller riding, and he’s tough enough to cop the pressure and kick away at the top of…
