Roosters truth Manly can’t escape; history behind big Prelim call: Saint Nick’s Best Weekend Tips
-Unusual Legacy WIN –-GWS To Win By 5 Or More –He’s gone to a new level this preparation since returning as a gelding, and he was impressive winning last start at Rosehill a fortnight ago. The four-year-old made a long-sustained sprint, clocking some of the meeting’s fastest closing sectionals , and he went through the line with style. The rise to 2000m third-up on Saturday is ideal; he drops 5kg in weight, which will enhance his closing speed, and James McDonald rides again.
James Tedesco celebrates his 250th game, the return of Jared Waerea-Hargreaves is key, and the Roosters have won five straight against Manly in the Moore Park precinct: three at the SCG, one at the SFS and most recently in round 21 at Allianz Stadium. Since this finals format was adopted in 2012, only six of the 24 games in Week 2 have been won by the lower-ranked team coming off a win in Week 1.Preliminary Final pressure and recent history suggest a tight contest between the Cats and Lions.
