Taree Race 6

Manning River Steel 1-3 Win

Prize Money: $3,110

MALICIOUS (6) flew the lids off the inside draw with a fast early split and gave a sight, finishing a 0.8 lengths second (22.78) over 400m at The Gardens. Capable of going well again. NAUGHTY NASH (4) jumps from box 4 again after finishing third (25.42) last time at Maitland over 450m. Should be in this for a long way. MRS. MINIVER (1) copped a check in the run and finished out of the placings when seventh (30.77) at The Gardens over 515m in a Mix. Has the ability and can measure up. FANTASTIC STORM (3) has strong credentials over this journey. Something for the Multiples: SAMSON'S RIOT (8)

Strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but could manage only second (22.78) at The Gardens over 400m. Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.
