Manawatu Race 7 - MANAWATU ITM HANDICAP TROT
EAGLE HANOVER (5) In the money when 3rd last run here. Good chance and wouldn't be surprised to see it pick up a win. TRAVELIN SOLDIER (8) Honest race when 2nd last start at this track. In fine form this preparation. Suitably placed in this race. SENIOR CONSTABLE LIZ (6) Got the upper hand late when winning last run at the track. Use betting as best guide. TRIFOLIUM (2) Towards the tail last start at Alexandra Park. Market watch advised.
