RACE ONE
The first 2YO trotting event for the season and the strength of the square gaiters in Qld continues with a field of 8 debutants to do battle. Chantal Turpin prepares 5 in the field, including VENUS LOVE (6) who is a Centurion ATM filly that win a qualifying trial impressively and has shown good manners at each of her three public appearances.
NORTHERN POWER (8) is a My High Expectations half-brother to NORTHERN MUSCLE prepared by Denis Smith. Safely away from the tapes and trotting cleanly in his trials, he faces the outside lane.
HOLD MY HAT DOUG (7) is another of the Turpin runners that performed smartly in a preparatory trial. By the top sire Sebastian K, he attacked the line smartly to win a trial.
KENETURIO (2) has looked safe at the education and qualifying trials, with the daughter of Centurion ATM showing a nice gait in pressing to the front at her last appearance.
SELECTIONS: VENUS LOVE (6), NORTHERN POWER (8), HOLD MY HAT DOUG (7), KENETURIO (2)
