Strong tempo from King Of Avalon, Golden Garden and Tallawah. KING OF AVALON (6) made a promising return when showing good tactical speed over the mile at Penola. Didn't get the verdict but showed plenty of grit to hold third. Boasts a strong record over this distance and is again aided at the weights with the 2kg claimer piloting. Top hope. BADONKIDONK (3) bounced back to form last start at Bordertown when only beaten 1.8L under the big weight. Gets help on the quick back-up with the 3kg claimer engaged. Right in the mix on his best. TEKAPO (10) has put together a couple of solid efforts and can go close again. FAST 'N' FORWARD (9) caused an upset last start at Horsham. Needs to back it up but deserves respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: King Of Avalon to win.
