Manawatu Race 2 - NZB STANDARDBRED SUPPORTS N.I. BREEDERS HCP TROT
EAGLE HANOVER (5) came from this handicap when she won three back at this circuit and distance and was good from there again when beaten narrowly as runner-up on Tuesday. Tackles a suitable assignment and can go one better. MASS DISRUPTION (6) could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance but wasn't far away. Won over this longer distance here prior. Big chance. TIKI (2) didn't do a bad job when fourth here last time out and was a close second to MASS DISRUPTION prior. VALENTINA SHEVCHENKO (1) is in the mix after turning in a good effort last start to finish third at this venue.
