Manawatu Race 4 - Chatham Islanders Mobile Pace
EXECUTIVE BANNER (7) made it two wins from two runs this prep last start when he got the cash by 5.5 metres over 2000m at this track. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw but the hat-trick beckons. BETA PREPARE (4) turned in a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 2000m at this track. Leading hope based on that recent effort. TASI AHNAU (8) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 2000m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. FREDASTAIRE (6) has a good record here and is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1980m at Addington on February 14.

Solid run when beaten by 2 m finishing second behind Tasi Ahnau at this track over 2000m on February 11 at $4.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Stealers Wheel at this track over 2000m on February 13 at $6.80. Can play a big role without surprising.
