Taree Race 8

Manning River Steel 1-3 Win

Stake: $2,495

CHAMPAGNE BLISS (8) turned in a good run last time, finishing in the placings (19.38) at Muswellbrook in a Grade 5. Lines up from box 8 for the first time. Form from her last run is proving strong. Top chance in this line up. MISS BRONX (7) had a tricky draw last time and although midfield in 4th wasn't far away finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner (17.94). Worth following up. ZIP ME (1) was in the minors two back (18.19) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 6th. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Worth following up. BAREFOOT CHAOS (2) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (18.19) over 300m at this track. Has the inside draw but will need to find best.

Working her way into winning form after her success on April 17 at Muswellbrook over 336m. Last start was second over 336m in 19.38, behind Cash The Lot. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.
