Taree Race 10 - Manning River Steel
SPITFIRE GEORGE (7) turned in a plain performance last time when seventh at Gosford over 388m behind Lakota Courtney (23.12) in a Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. Won at his only start from this draw. Should bounce back. TRALEE VIXEN (5) has missed the placings at her last couple but was in the money three back when third (17.66) at this track in a Grade 5. Can find the frame this time. COUNTERPART (4) has missed the frame the last couple but was a Maiden winner three back (17.72) at this track over 300m. Can hit the frame this time. TAP OUT GRACIE (2) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Returns from a 12 weeks spell and did win when last resuming, scoring in 17.98 at big odds over 324m at Richmond Straight. Happy to risk this time.

Was out of the placings at final run of last campaign, finishing sixth (18.34) at this track before going for a four months spell. Looks a danger to the top hope.
