I am a stayer which need a bigger course with a longer straight. "Manighar" will be my type.
NO you don't Brother Mate, you can bet on Manighar but you don't want to be ON Manighar, he's just an old staying gelding, you will be much happier on Mosheen the 3 yr old staying filly who keeps beating the boys and she has already won the VRC Oaks last Spring so she can stay and having also won the Guinea at Flemington, she really likes those big track and long straight, absolutely your kind of champion broodmare in the making.

If you look at her pedigree, she has a double double crossing of Northern Dancer stallions including Nijinski, she really can be anything!

Just my two cents.

Cheers
