Solid pace likely with Nova Remnant prominent along with Bax Factor crossing from an outside gate. LOCHMARA BAY (3) has been runner-up in 3 of her 4 starts this prep, and will have the ever-in-form Tina Comignaghi in the saddle this time. With some luck from a tricky gate, she is the one to beat. SERENDIPITOUS (12) was a beaten favourite fresh up at Gore in her first run in the South Island. She has a home track advantage this time and will finish a lot closer. Follow your money. LET ME LOOSE (5) was a game fourth here fresh up when peaking on her run late. She meets a similar sort of field here and should pick up a win at short notice. Each way. BAX FACTOR (2) was less than 2 lengths from the winner here 11 days ago when finishing fourth, and has been heading the right way with her form. He is nearing his peak fitness now and can take this out. MORRIE (1) has been runner-up in both of his starts this prep, including his last run here when beaten by a short-head. He is overdue, and can go one better this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lochmara Bay to complete a quinella with Serendipitous.
