2011 Stan Fox Stakes

The small field had no answers to the class of Manawanui, with trainer Ron Leemon saying the event was 'more a barrier trial than a race'. Manawanui went to the lead right from the start and cruised the 1500 metres without being threatened at any stage, sauntering to the line well clear of roughie Roma Giaconda while Cocky Raider finished third.
