Tavanasia, Prince Carlos and Klatten to take up the running at a strong tempo. INJAIR (8) got off the mark in style three back and has since followed it up with two solid efforts. Has proven a versatile type that holds plenty of intrigue on quick turnaround. HAZE (4) didn't give his rivals a sniff last start at Newcastle (Beaumont) when leading pillar to post. Full of confidence and is drawn to go forward again. Right in this. TAVANASIA (6) dug deep to get the verdict by a long neck last start at Gilgandra. Tougher this time but deserves respect. JAKAT (5) has been mixing his form this campaign but has peaks that measure up. Bullock on adds confidence. Keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sight lean to Injair.
