Fast pace assured with Lady Bankside, Toa Haka and Natural Momentum leading the charge. FULL MOON FEVER (5) resumed with a tough win by a head over 1200m at this track, and with the conditions of this race, he gets to carry the same weight in a similar field. He strips fitter and has to be hard to beat again. TOA HAKA (4) showed good early speed and fought on well for third over 1400m at Riccarton last start. He is peaking at the right time third up, and with the aid of a 3kg claim, he can test the top pick, despite drawing a wide gate. CONTEMPLATION BAY (7) returns from a five-and-a-half-month spell that would have done her the world of good. She ended her last prep in some hot fields, and if ready, she could be just too good for this lot. LEGALLY BINDING (9) has been freshened since finishing runner-up over 1200m at Riccarton just over 5 weeks ago. He has trialled since then, and has a stack of upside. Hard to beat again. STREET FIGHTIN MAN (1) is worth considering at this level, and now that he is back in form, he can figure in the top 3 again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Contemplation Bay could be the one to side with in this.
