Last Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival the Andrew Noblet-trained daughter of War Chant won the Group 3 $150,000 Mannerism Stakes (1400m) second-up ahead of three very competitive efforts in elite level.

Twelve months on the now five-year-old is well-supported to win successive editions of the mares’ only race sitting top of the Mannerism Stakes betting markets at $1.95 and firming through Ladbrokes.com.au.

The official Mannerism Stakes field attracted nine final acceptances before the early scratching of the Anthony Freedman-trained Petition (5).

Drawn in gate four with internationally preformed hoop Craig Williams retaining the ride, odds-on favourite Silent Sedition again comes into the clash second-up.

In her campaign kick-off at the Caulfield track a fortnight back she was one and a half-lengths beaten when fifth to Prussian Vixen in the Group 3 Geoffrey Bellmaine Stakes (1200m).

Fitter for the run this weekend she faces a smaller field over a more suitable distance and is out to make history as the event’s first back-to-back winner.

Silent Sedition went on last autumn to finish runner-up when narrowly beaten by Heavens Above in Rosehill’s Group 1 Coolmore Classic (1500m) before her Moonee Valley win in the Group 1 William Reid Stakes (1200m).

She was also far from disgraced when fourth behind Foxplay at Royal Randwick during ‘The Championships’ in the Group 1 Queen Of The Turf Stakes (1600m) and could be aimed at a number of the same races again this time in.

Following Silent Sedition in the Mannerism Stakes odds at $4.40 is the Peter & Paul Snowden-trained Hinchinbrook mare Flippant.

The five-year-old chases her first win since November of 2016, but was competitive last time out running just a short half-head second in the Geoffrey Bellmaine Stakes that could prove the form race to follow into Saturday.

The only other single-figure fancy at $6.50 is the early Mannerism Stakes market mover Samovare who opened as long as $9.50.

Representing the David Hayes-led Lindsay Park stable and to be ridden by Damien Oliver first-up, the Savabeel four-year-old runs for the first time since finishing four lengths back last (12th) to Tosen Stardom in Flemington’s Group 1 Emirates Stakes (2000m) during the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

She ticks a number of boxes for her campaign starter on Saturday having finished runner-up in two of her three previous resuming runs and boasting the same strong Place record at the Caulfield track.

While yet to win over the distance, Samovare has three seconds and a third from her four 1400m assignments so far and shapes up as a massive top three hope.
