Race preview
ONLY IN MANILA caught the eye on debut at Southwell when slowly away before running on well for second late in the day. With normal improvement expected, he can go one better for his in-form connections, with Quarter looking best placed to chase him home under a penalty following his course success over 7f on debut last month. Placed on his last two outings, Magical Merlot is another to consider.
