Taree Race 7 - Manning River Steel
BALLYNEALE FLASH (1) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (17.54) in a Grade 5 at this track. Rates highly and will give a great sight. CARL BRUCE (2) has a strong record here with three wins and three placings from nine starts. Comes off a (17.52) win last time, scoring by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 5 over 300m at this track. Can feature with the right run. BENTLEY ELSA (3) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (17.79) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Should be about the money. RITZY RITZY (7) is a last-start placegetter here at this trip - worth considering.
