Taree Race 7 - Manning River Steel
CHASING KISSES (3) finished fifth last time at Richmond Straight but could not have been more impressive a few runs back in her brilliant 17.15 win at this track over 300m. Smart win three back and looks a key chance here. SHE'S WATCHING (1) has a strong winning strike-rate here with two wins and a placing from five tries. Was out of placings last time (18.19) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 8 lengths. Among the main chances. BAD GIRL RIVER (8) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, rewarded with a win last time at this track over 300m. Will go close again if runs up to latest. KAEO (2) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Good effort to win last start by 1.3 lengths over 300m at this track in a handy (17.50), beating Sundown. In winning form now and looks a major threat.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 300m at this track. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (17.93) over 300m at this track. Drawn out wide and looks a each way chance only this field.
