OVERDRAFT (1) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track over 1650m, beaten a neck. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Big threat over the longer journey. CHANCE TAKEN (2) made progress last time out, finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1650m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. TAUPO DANCER (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1.1 lengths when fourth over 2200m at this track two weeks ago. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. 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. Coming along well at the trials with a win at his most recent at Waipukurau.
