MANAWATU ITM HANDICAP TROT 2500m Track: GOOD |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
TRAVELIN SOLDIER (8) was in the money two runs ago at Cambridge then produced another strong effort for second at this venue two days ago. Steps up in distance but looks close to a win and could achieve it here. TRIFOLIUM (2) recorded a string of top-four finishes before a seventh at his latest appearance at Alexandra Park. Likely to get the favours from this favourable starting position and this looks a suitable assignment. EAGLE HANOVER (5) is going well, winning here three back and placing in both outings since. Major player. SENIOR CONSTABLE LIZ (6) goes back to the 25m mark this time time but must be respected after scoring on Tuesday.
