Verdict
James McAuley saddles three, all in good form with obvious chances. Tai Sing Yeh beat Inflection Point two-and-a-half lengths over 6f last week and though best over that trip should confirm the form on the revised terms. Tawaazon had been beaten by both stablemates before scoring over 6f a couple of weeks ago but has never won over the minimum. The lightly-raced Dun Na Sead beat Tai Sing Yeh just over a length over the trip last month but has been raised 9lb. LITTLE QUEENIE led for a long way before headed close home over 6f last month and can double her winning tally though both Collective Power and Daintree have chances in a very tricky opener.
