Manning Valley Race Club is the destination for country racing on Monday afternoon, with a competitive eight-part program lined up at Taree. The rail moves out +3m the entire circuit for the meeting, and with the track rated a Soft 7 at the time of acceptances and more light rainfall forecast across the weekend, punters can expect that rating to hold on race-day. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 1:15pm local time.
Best Bet at Taree: Mindspace
The Sally Taylor-trained Mindspace looks a big price at the as he gets set to peak third-up into the campaign. The son of So You Think hit the line well in his latest effort at Tamworth on February 14, with the five-year-old building the revs at the end of 1600m. He will be aided by the 4kg claim of apprentice hoop Nick Palmer taking the reins for the first time, and with the 2000m a perfect trip for Mindspace to recapture his best, this guy must be considered the one to beat.
Best Bet
Race 2 – 
#2 Mindspace (7)
5yo Gelding | T: Sally Taylor | J: Nick Palmer (4kg) (62kg)
Next Best at Taree: Tsunoda
The trio of Tsunoda, Highly Tempted and Toy Story all meet again after clashing at this course over 1400m last time out, and it appears advantage Tsunoda as they step up to the mile. He was too far back in a slowly run affair on that occasion; however, he worked through the line nicely to suggest he’s ready to fire fourth-up into the preparation. Aaron Bullock elects to stick, and with gate five allowing him to navigate his way to the one-one, expect Tsunoda to turn the tables at a good price with horse racing bookmakers.
Next Best
Race 5 – 
#3 Tsunoda (5)
4yo Gelding | T: Marc Quinn | J: Aaron Bullock (61kg)
Best Value at Taree: Aquafire
Aquafire ran into a smart one in the form of Éclair Vitality when returning at Port Macquarie on March 3 and should take big improvement heading into this second-up assignment. The Headwater gelding was victorious second-up last preparation and should appreciate the sting out of the ground this time around. Luke Rolls appears set to stalk his rivals from barrier seven, so with even luck, watch for Aquafire to be barrelling down the centre of the course at a terrific each-way price with Dabble.
Best Value
Race 6 – 
#5 Aquafire (7)
3yo Gelding | T: Stephen Farley | J: Luke Rolls (58kg)
