Taree Race 7

Tg Manning River Steel 8-15

Prize Money: $1,350

KEEGAN'S REPORTS (7) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing third behind Rough Passage (18.22) in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Likely to feature again. BANJO'S FERNANDO (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing seventh (20.85) in a Grade 5 at Gunnedah. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. I'M EXHIBIT TWO (5) was in traffic last time at this course and distance and fell. Safe beginner but tricky box to overcome. Rates a key player and gets chance to atone. LUCID RIVAL (2) placed last time and is worth some thought.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished last in a Grade 5 on February 9 over 340m at Gunnedah behind Marvellous Mel beaten 7 lengths (20.85). With a good start can take advantage of the low draw.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (18.11) over 300m at this track. Boxed out wide but is among the better hopes.
