Taree Race 12

Manning River Steel Masters

Prize Money: $1,095

RECLINER KING (2) broke from a low draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only 0.8 lengths (19.67) behind Key Van at Muswellbrook. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from seven attempts. Expected to feature in the finish again. NORBERT BALE (1) turned spotting a big start finishing seventh (18.17) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. One of the better chances. ORSON DUKE (8) jumped from the inside and boxed on well to finish third last time, beaten 1.75 lengths (17.95) behind WILLINA CHARM at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. JERRY'S MATE (3) can run a bold race on best form.

Looks close to another win after her success on November 20 at Gunnedah over 340m. Last start was second over 336m in 19.67, behind Key Van. Still to win from this draw but has been in the placings four times. Top chance.

Latest effort finished 3rd on April 5 over 300m at this track behind Willina Charm beaten 1.75 lengths (17.95) in a Mix 3/4. Overdue for a win and gets his chance this time.
