THUNDERFIST (1) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1200m at Wingatui. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. NOIVERN (5) defied his big price last time when beaten just a long neck into third over 1400m at this track. Well placed and should be in the finish. CONTEST (13) is on debut. By Time Test and hails from the Anna Furlong stable. Looks forward enough after a Riccarton Park trial win. Any push in betting should be respected. PORCIA CATONIS (12) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at her latest appearance over 1200m at Riccarton Park Synthetic. Ran fourth in a recent trial at Ashburton. Has ability and is worth including.
