ROSENA PYERS MEMORIAL HANDICAP TROT 2000m

Track: FAST      

SCOOTS (1) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 8 metres from the winner in fifth over 2500m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. TRAVELIN SOLDIER (7) was responsible for a far better performance when second up last time out, finishing third over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway. Taking on a better line-up this time but he good enough to play a major role. EAGLE HANOVER (6) must be considered after she finished runner-up over 2100m at Ruakaka three weeks ago. SENIOR CONSTABLE LIZ (2) is worth some thought despite her last-start ninth over 2170m at Motukarara Raceway on April 22. Include in exotic bets.
