In Transit, The Dial House and Asian Tale are the trio to look at here with In Transit taken to win. The Dial House has been runner-up on both his starts to date and was beaten by a subsequent winner last time. He will be a difficult opponent but seems to lack a finishinbg kick and is opposed. Asian Tale was a disappointment on fast ground in a maiden after a promising debut when there was give underfoot and he scored in a claimer last time. He wil have gained confidence from that win and can reach the frame. In Transit won over this course and distance two outings ago after a narrow defeat. He was just touched off by a useful type last time and has the ability to recover losses here. In Transit, in action on Wednesday, can live up to his name and recover quickly from that defeat.
