Taree Race 9

Manning River Steel Max 150 Points

Stake: $1,183

VOLARE ALTO (7) is having her first start around this track. Comes here a last start placegetter at Muswellbrook in a Grade 5 (19.73). Can find winning form. LAST SHOT RIPPER (3) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Has hit the frame the last two runs, the latest when second (31.21) at this track. Solid record at the distance winning two races. Expecting another good run. RECLINER KING (2) has missed the frame at her last couple but wasn't beaten far three back when third (17.89) at this track in a Mix 3/4. Has the ability and can find best this time. LENNY KEEPING (1) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Resumes from a five-and-a-half months spell and was a fresh up winner last time in, scoring over 300m at this track. Rates well and expect him to be prominent.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when she finished 6th over 336m at Muswellbrook beaten 10 lengths (20.08) behind King Kainane in a Mix 1/2/3 on May 17. Happy to overlook recent efforts. Well placed and gets chance to find best.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (23.16) at big odds over 400m at The Gardens. Has a squeeze box to navigate but in the mix on his best form.

Hit the frame latest (19.73) when second at Muswellbrook in a Grade 5. Has two successes and two minors from six starts from box 7. Key chance and should go close.
