Plenty to like about the front-running tactics of the improving Impact Factor from the Jessica Harrington yard but will have to be at the top of his game to worry C&D winner CARTWRIGHT who sprinted away from a competitive 19-runner field earlier this month to win by 16L. Speak Easy and Hardline can battle for the minor honors.
