Taree Race 11

Manning River Steel

Stake: $2,849

MY JULIA (2) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on her swift win the start prior, getting around this track over 300m in 17.46. Smart win two back and looks a key chance here. CARL BRUCE (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing seventh (18.05) in a NG at this track. Should be thereabouts. DARK ROOM (5) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (17.67) at this track behind True Blue Billy in a Grade 5. Always well back but strong run home into the finish. Yet to miss the placings from five starts out of this box. Expected to be in this for a long way. BEAUTIFUL BANTER (6) has top-three aspirations after placing here over this journey last time.

Last start finished fifth in a Grade 5 on July 8 over 300m at this track behind Zipping Tanaka, beaten 5.5 lengths (18.04). Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
