PAUL DRAKE (4) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth after being prominent at the turn. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CHAOKOON (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7f at this track, beaten 9 lengths into seventh. This doesn't look as hard so he is perfectly placed to score. SLIPPERY WHEN WET (2) settled well back last start and never threatened when 24 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1m at this track (Dirt). Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. This is a nice drop in grade so he is likely to play a big role. LOCO (3) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by half a length over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Has his share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
