Taree Race 5 - Manning River Steel 1-3 Win
MUSTANG SALLY (4) got off the mark with her maiden victory last time at this track over 300m (17.91). Great chance again. CHOPPER SURE CAN (1) is better than last start when fourth (20.39) in a Grade 5 at Grafton over 350m. Should be about the mark. MOSTLY SAVAGE (5) comes here following a placing in handy time (17.37) over 300m at this track. In form and must include in calculations. JAN'S SECRET (2) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 3 length fourth (20.39) over 350m at Grafton. Rates highly on best form. Expected to feature.

Has finished last in her last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 300m. Can bounce back. One of the main chances.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (17.90) over 300m at this track. Drawn close to the inside. Looks to have the job ahead.

Solid performance after racing just off the speed to win by a nose at this track over 300m (17.91) beating Mulwee Harry in Maiden on May 27. Returned in great order and can make it two on the bounce.

Hit the frame at this track last time when a 2.25 lengths second but did record a fast 17.37 over the 300m trip. Can measure up with a repeat of that effort.
