Taree Race 5 - Manning River Steel
MAJOR FLIRT (2) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (31.07) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Solid record here winning two races. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. IT'S A GLAM (1) will take beating coming off a strong 30.42 win at this track over 525m. In form and must include in calculations. SASSY SUPREME (7) is a talented dog who is a winner of 12 races but missed the frame last time when fifth at Gosford (29.90). Should be about the money. FIERY PIASTRI (5) is another with top-three prospects.

Hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 5 lengths (30.42) over 525m at this track. The last win was in one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with her.
