Read an article the other day re the breeding of some of the guineas runners and was a little surprised to learn that Manjar and Snacking are both bred to be stayers and that they should go better at distances further than 1600m. Snacking in particular should be suited by the 2400 as her sire and dam-sire have both sired WA Derby winners. With this in mind (and the considerable amount of interference suffered by a number of runners in the guineas) I’ve dismissed their seemingly disappointing runs on Saturday and look forward to their performances over more ground.
