Race comment
OVERVIEW: Seven squaregaiters will tackle tonight’s first trotting contest. However, it’s an event which genuinely emanates massive match-race vibes. And it’s the kind of match-race most racing lovers understandably relish. In the blue corner there’s CENTRAL OTAGO (6). Beautifully bred, though far from physically imposing, he’s always shown promise but seems to be reaching the next level at present. In the red corner there’s ALDEBARAN DINO (7). Also bred in the purple, he’s all raw talent and statuesque presence. If that doesn’t for you here’s a little more. Both trotters have recently turned five and have already met on four occasions, three of those battles taking place between December 16 and 31 last year. Currently, the scoreboard reads 3 v 1 in favour of ALDEBARAN DINO (7); and if we’re on the money it’ll be 4 v1 after tonight. Look, there’s no doubt CENTRAL OTAGO (6) has an extreme tactical advantage over his organic adversary given he possesses decent early pace and should find the front while ALDEBARAN DINO (7) is $1.10 to trail the field by several metres when the mobile rolls. Nevertheless, ALDEBARAN DINO (7) is something pretty special and in this seven-horse field he should balance, breeze and simply out-muscle CENTRAL OTAGO (6) when it matters most. The X-factor here is how much and how fast CENTRAL OTAGO (6) is currently improving. He’ll need to be even better than last start for success tonight but there’s no doubt that the penny’s dropping fast enough to certainly warrant his inclusion in all you Early Quads. It’s tough to see an upset occurring here, though MORETON BAY (4) – who resumes without trialling, is a very serious horse when in the mood and VALLEY STAR (1) also possesses well above average talent but has struggled with polemarking draws in the relatively recent past. EARLY SPEED: 6 (Potential Eventual Leader) + 5? + 4 + 1 RATINGS: 7/ 6/ 4/ 1/ 5/ 2/ 3

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Seven squaregaiters will tackle tonight’s first trotting contest. However, it’s an event which genuinely emanates massive match-race vibes. And it’s the kind of match-race most racing lovers understandably relish. In the blue corner there’s CENTRAL OTAGO (6). Beautifully bred, though far from physically imposing, he’s always shown promise but seems to be reaching the next level at present. In the red corner there’s ALDEBARAN DINO (7). Also bred in the purple, he’s all raw talent and statuesque presence. If that doesn’t for you here’s a little more. Both trotters have recently turned five and have already met on four occasions, three of those battles taking place between December 16 and 31 last year. Currently, the scoreboard reads 3 v 1 in favour of ALDEBARAN DINO (7); and if we’re on the money it’ll be 4 v1 after tonight. Look, there’s no doubt CENTRAL OTAGO (6) has an extreme tactical advantage over his organic adversary given he possesses decent early pace and should find the front while ALDEBARAN DINO (7) is $1.10 to trail the field by several metres when the mobile rolls. Nevertheless, ALDEBARAN DINO (7) is something pretty special and in this seven-horse field he should balance, breeze and simply out-muscle CENTRAL OTAGO (6) when it matters most. The X-factor here is how much and how fast CENTRAL OTAGO (6) is currently improving. He’ll need to be even better than last start for success tonight but there’s no doubt that the penny’s dropping fast enough to certainly warrant his inclusion in all you Early Quads. It’s tough to see an upset occurring here, though MORETON BAY (4) – who resumes without trialling, is a very serious horse when in the mood and VALLEY STAR (1) also possesses well above average talent but has struggled with polemarking draws in the relatively recent past. EARLY SPEED: 6 (Potential Eventual Leader) + 5? + 4 + 1 RATINGS: 7/ 6/ 4/ 1/ 5/ 2/ 3

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Seven squaregaiters will tackle tonight’s first trotting contest. However, it’s an event which genuinely emanates massive match-race vibes. And it’s the kind of match-race most racing lovers understandably relish. In the blue corner there’s CENTRAL OTAGO (6). Beautifully bred, though far from physically imposing, he’s always shown promise but seems to be reaching the next level at present. In the red corner there’s ALDEBARAN DINO (7). Also bred in the purple, he’s all raw talent and statuesque presence. If that doesn’t for you here’s a little more. Both trotters have recently turned five and have already met on four occasions, three of those battles taking place between December 16 and 31 last year. Currently, the scoreboard reads 3 v 1 in favour of ALDEBARAN DINO (7); and if we’re on the money it’ll be 4 v1 after tonight. Look, there’s no doubt CENTRAL OTAGO (6) has an extreme tactical advantage over his organic adversary given he possesses decent early pace and should find the front while ALDEBARAN DINO (7) is $1.10 to trail the field by several metres when the mobile rolls. Nevertheless, ALDEBARAN DINO (7) is something pretty special and in this seven-horse field he should balance, breeze and simply out-muscle CENTRAL OTAGO (6) when it matters most. The X-factor here is how much and how fast CENTRAL OTAGO (6) is currently improving. He’ll need to be even better than last start for success tonight but there’s no doubt that the penny’s dropping fast enough to certainly warrant his inclusion in all you Early Quads. It’s tough to see an upset occurring here, though MORETON BAY (4) – who resumes without trialling, is a very serious horse when in the mood and VALLEY STAR (1) also possesses well above average talent but has struggled with polemarking draws in the relatively recent past. EARLY SPEED: 6 (Potential Eventual Leader) + 5? + 4 + 1 RATINGS: 7/ 6/ 4/ 1/ 5/ 2/ 3
