Shiv Kapur made the big moves on the third day, carding a superb five-under 65 to jump to Tied-eighth place and join fellow Indian Amardip Malik (71) in the top 10 at the Queen's Cup, here Saturday.
The Indian duo is eight-under for the tournament, while Miguel Tabuena of the Philippines posted a four-under 66 to storm into outright lead after the penultimate round here.
Tabuena is 16-under-par 194, while Jazz Janewattananond is 14-under at the event hosted by three-time Asian Tour number one Thongchai Jaidee.
Among other Indians, M Dharma (71) is Tied-25th, Kshitij Naveed Kaul (71), Abhijit Chadha (72) and Rashid Khan (69) are T-45 and Honey Baisoya (72) is T-68.
Kapur said, "I played pretty good considering the conditions today. I got off to a bit of slow start, made a couple of par saves to keep the round together today. Then I caught fire on hole seven, and birdied three holes in a row.
"I felt comfortable on the back nine with the confidence coming off those three birdies but the wind came up in the back nine and got a little trickier and pins were a bit harder than the first two days. So you have to kind of respect that and aim away from the pins.
"The whole week I felt like I played well but didn't hold it together. So I'm glad that I birdied those three holes because I got over my demons of the first nine which I haven't been doing well in the past two rounds."
