Taree Race 7

Manning River Steel

Prize Money: $1,350

FLYING MINTER (1) turned in a plain run last time when sixth at this track over 300m behind Squid Worth (18.13) in a Grade 5. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. CHICKS A THIEF (6) chased the lead early from the inside draw but took over turning to score (17.83) at this track in a Grade 5 over 300m. One of the key runners again. MISS CLARENCE (2) comes off an average effort last start when seventh at this track over 300m behind Kingsbrae Maggie (18.16) in a Grade 5. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Better than last start and can bounce back. LOST COMPASS (4) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to bounce back.

Was out of placings last time when sixth (18.13) at this track in a Grade 5. Will jump from box 1 for the first time. Looks a key chance on best form.

Fast starter. Last start finished 7th in a Grade 5 on May 9 over 300m at this track behind Kingsbrae Maggie beaten 8 lengths (18.16). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in her races. Last start finished sixth over 350m at Grafton, beaten 5.5 lengths. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
