Manawatu Race 2 - WOODLANDS STUD SUPPORTS NI BREEDERS HCP TROT
EAGLE HANOVER (7) should find this easier than the last attempt. Form prior to that had been solid, coming from this mark to score at this circuit and distance two back. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. VERONICA JANE (6) has been competitive in stronger company of late and kept the ball rolling last time when fifth over 2700m at Cambridge Raceway. Has to overcome a 40m handicap but has the ability to test this field. MASS DISRUPTION (5) comes right into contention after breaking through last start, giving him a win a placing in two attempts here. VALENTINA SHEVCHENKO (1) is worth some thought aided by the inside starting position.
