REGAL AZMON (7) was allowed to drift back from a wide draw last time out then found the line strongly to grab third over 1400m at Caulfield. Should go well again. ARRAN BAY (1) knuckled down strongly to get within 1.4 lengths of the winner in third last start over 1600m at Bendigo. Drops back in grade. Top chance in this field. AIR ASSAULT (2) raced on pace for much of the way before fading in the straight to finish tenth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1529m here last time. Jason Holder who has seven wins when partnering stays on. Strips fitter and must be respected. TAHNEE TREASURE (9) finished fourth over 1400m at Oakbank when resuming last start after strong market support, beaten only 1.75 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
