Taree Race 3 - Manning River Steel 1-4 Win
VERY SAVAGE (7) is having his first try over the longer journey. Comes here a last start placegetter at Maitland in Grade 5 (22.86). Looks the one to beat with even luck. GOOD ODDS KEONA (4) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when second (30.50) at The Gardens. Can measure up. MAKO BEAST (1) struggled in tougher grade last start after settling off pace at this track, but prior to that won comfortably by 6 lengths at this track (17.63) beating Snacks in a Grade 5 on June 10. One of the better chances. RUN ROLEX (2) is worth including.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Gardens (30.87) in a Grade 5, finishing a 11 length eighth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Looks one of the chances.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (30.19) over 515m at Gosford. Tough draw to overcome and will need the right run to feature.
