Should be a genuine tempo with Bakers Dozen pushing forward with Belle Noire working over from an outside gate. BAKERS DOZEN (5) continued to improve her form this year, and she posted an overdue, but well-deserved maiden win at Riverton just over 2 weeks ago, when leading from a wide draw, and kicking away to score by over a length. This is not much harder, and she will take some pegging back again. EXPLODE (2) was an impressive maiden winner at Riccarton 2 starts back, before getting too far at his next start at Riverton over 1200m. The extra 200m here will suit him, and he is worth another chance. WHO ROX THE HOUSE (4) was heavily backed at Riverton last start, but looked to be a run short with over a month between runs. She has the pole position, and with only a 15-day gap since her last start, she can bounce straight back into the money. WHAT ABOUT PEACE (10) was a big winner on debut on New Year's Day, and has since been tested in some far stronger fields. She cops a wide gate, but can't be taken lightly. Each way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: What About Peace at each-way value in an even field.
