Genuine tempo with Bax Factor to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. THUNDERFIST (1) was just beaten fresh up from a wide draw. Better barrier in this slightly. Win chance here in this. NOIVERN (5) has had three runs here for two placings. Wide draw but a 4kg claim helps him no end. CONTEST (13) is an Anna Furlong-trained three-year-old filly lining up for first race start. Won a recent Riccarton Park trial. Trained on the course and can make an immediate impact. Dam has left Brigit (1 win). PORCIA CATONIS (12) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Beaten a lip at last start before a spell. Wide draw. Win chance in this field still. MONTERO (2) was poor fresh up for a new yard. Trial winner prior here. Ace barrier. Improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Thunderfist and Porcia Catonis are win wagers.
