Manawatu Raceway Race 7

MASONIC HOTEL HANDICAP TROT

Prize Money: -

VALENTINA SHEVCHENKO (2) has been racing well of late and looks close to a win after a second at her latest appearance here on Tuesday where she was only headed late. Should push forward again from the same favourable starting position. Placed the only time she attempted this longer distance. Can go close. MASS DISRUPTION (1) wasn't too far behind VALENTINA SHEVCHENKO when third on Tuesday. Should enjoy a nice run. Capable of another good performance. Manners let both SCOOTS (6) and MECHANICA (4) down on Tuesday both are good enough to make an impact in this line-up if they are on their best behaviour.

Distance: 2500m
Class: 3YO+, NON-WI
Track: FAST
Weather: FINE

Mass Disruption (Fr1) 44663
