OVERDRAFT (1) has been good seconds in both runs so far. He can win this for sure. CHANCE TAKEN (2) he has been much improved at his last two runs. Trial winner earlier this month. Good chance. TAUPO DANCER (3) much improved in his last two runs. Drawn out. Still a trifecta and first four chance. UNUSUAL NUGGET (4) is a four-year-old gelding facing the starter for the first time. From a family of winners, being by Unusual Suspect from the Stakes winner Mini Pearl. Has had two trials over February for a second then a win. Dam has left four winning foals with Mazzuro (3 wins) the most prolific. Drawn to be a chance. RITHIM (11) is a gradual improver this year. Good second here at last start.
