Almanzor throws a good staying sort at times. And they have a bit of class. So I might go Trav and Manzor Blue. I agree with you on Manzor Blue. In addition to the sire, Almanzor she has Sir Tristram twice on the Dam side as well as Montjue Quote

Nothing simple these days, poor top weight lump 60kg, most of the rest 53kg, even Trav who had won an Auckland cup, interesting fact, I'm sure he won a race at greymouth couple years back. 1 Quote

His best effort in Australia was winning the Terang Cup. His dam was the Granddam of Pennyweka. Quote
Bloke Posted February 2 Posted February 2 The Auckland Cup has been downgraded from one of our great races to just another race on the so-called Champions Day. Quote
