Rebel Factor emerged as a potential Group winner following an impressive win in the weight-for-age Ladbrokes Stakes over 1200m in Launceston on Friday night.

Gee Gee Bay Watch lived up to his trial form by scoring an impressive all-the-way win in the benchmark 62 handicap over 1220m in Launceston on Friday night.

On face value, first-starter Rebel Factor should not have won on debut in Launceston on Wednesday night.
