Taree Race 10 - Manning River Steel Masters
PIQUED INTEREST (2) missed the frame last time at this track but the start prior rocketed around 300m at this track in 17.47. Expected to push the clock again here. TONKA TURTLE (7) was safely held in tougher company last start after missing the jump at Casino, but prior to that won by 2 lengths at Casino (17.23) beating Third Element in a Mix 3/4 on February 12. Can figure in the finish. QUEEN'S WHARF (6) missed the frame last time, finishing 6th (28.47) last time in a Grade 4/5 at Casino. Has a strong record here at this journey including two wins. Has ability and can measure up. RANA HERRERA (8) placed last time out so worth considering.

Was out of placings last time (18.83) at this track in a Mix 2/3, finishing seventh and beaten 17 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and six minors. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.
