Khatani returned from a long absence at Stratford last month and should have benefited from the run. He may have too much left in the locker in the closing stages for this lot and is taken to get this season off to a similar start to last season. Skram and Infini should go well for a long way but Zabadi could prove to be the biggest threat. He had a cracking start to last season and ran up a nice little winning sequence. His stable has started the campaign well and a move for him in the market could be a significant pointer to his current frame of mind.
