Solid tempo headed by Over Draft and Butt Heads. PUREZZA (10) loves this track and trip with a win and six placings from nine attempts and gets 2kg weight relief. Drawn to get a cosy run from gate four and looks the one they all have to run down. OVER DRAFT (5) has a handy record around this circuit with a win and a second from just three spins and gets in well at the weights with the 2kg claim. Cherry-ripe for this and should be playing a major role in the outcome. MISTER SELFIE (8) has been a touch disappointing at the past couple of efforts but the form prior was full of merit. Watch for sharp improvement. THE LITTLE PUMPER (1) just ran into one better here when resuming and will have taken a lot of benefit from that hit-out. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Purezza.
