JUST ASK PADDY (7) wasn't beaten far in his latest outing at this circuit and placed the previous time he raced here. Draws wider than in both of those but if things go his way he is up to winning this. PURE COURAGE (6) wasn't great away last start so the effort for fifth at this venue had some merit. Nice effort to place two back at Mt Harding. Contender. GOORAMBAT ART (8) placed two back at Manawatu then wasn't far from the placings when off a back row draw here last start. Can measure up with even luck from a wide draw. FOVEAUX GAMBLER (4) draws lower than last start and had placed in his previous two outings so is worth some thought.
