Mr Fox says

Manton Bay leads the field on SR (98) and carries 9-13 — level with Kirkland Sioux but with a far cleaner recent form line (1-3282 vs Kirkland Sioux's MarkMv:+11 penalty). Crucially, DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ confirm proven ability at today's mile trip on good ground, and the market has shortened 5% since opening rather than drifting, suggesting stable confidence. David Marnane's yard runs at 8% but Luke McAteer (7% overall) is the booked jockey; the real endorsement is the market move in — small but meaningful in a field where every other major runner has drifted. Iamimmaculate (SR 97) is the sole credible rival on ability, but the DistFit:? flag means unproven at the trip, and its market support (in 7%) is partially offset by Gerard O'Leary's modest 7% stable strike rate versus Marnane's competitive yard. Each-way alternative: Iamimmaculate. Main danger: Iamimmaculate — Iamimmaculate matches Manton Bay almost identically on SR (97 vs 98), carries 4lb less at 9-9, and has shortened 7% in the market — Shane Foley's experience (11%, 891 runners) could exploit that weight advantage if the mile trip suits on the day.
