Taree Race 12

Fab Con Manning Valley

Prize Money: $2,310

ICE ON FIRE (5) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when seventh at The Gardens over 400m behind Star (23.59) in a Grade 5. Has ability and looks hard to stop. JUST A JOY (8) finished one length away in second last start over 300m at this track but in a good 17.34. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. REEL'EM CHAPPO (2) has been in the placings at his last two runs, most recently when third (17.63) in a Grade 4 over 300m at this track. Can turn it around this time. STARLIGHT DUKE (1) is worth a look over a shorter trip this time.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (17.64) over 300m at this track. Nicely drawn on the inside and can measure up.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (17.63) over 300m at this track. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Good performance to win by 4 lengths at this track over 300m (17.66) beating Fabulous Flame in Grade 5 on December 20. Can't recommend her in this.

Last start finished 7th on December 20 over 400m at The Gardens behind Star beaten 15 lengths (23.59) in a Grade 5. Was strong in the market but finished down the track last time. Worth another try.

Comments

Finished in the placings last time but the run prior she was a strong winner after leading throughout, scoring by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 5 at this track and recording a brilliant 17.19 over the 300m journey. Should be in this for a long way.
