Are there any slow taper (trough action) rods in the Daiwa rod range?

There are very few through action rods at all available these days unfortunately.

If it has to be daiwa, and through action I'd look at the powermesh deadbait rods

Weren't the Infinity slimlines a more compound taper?
Definitely not a long range, fast taper..

Infinity slim power, will be more through action than the standard infinity mate, there is also the longbow, powermesh(there is a carp version as well) whisker, crosscast and black widow, ranges to have a look at, depending on your budget. Most of these as far as I am aware will have a more progressive/through action.

I have only ever used the standard infinity in 3.25lb tc, which I found to be a very nice rod indeed, for me anyway.

Unfortunately I cant comment, personally, on any of the models I have suggested, maybe a standard infinity in 2.75lb might even be worth considering, although a fast action rod, it will probably be more forgiving than you might think, and would be a bit more versatile.

Have a look at some of the models I have mentioned,you should find some YouTube vids on them, it would also be worth ringing some of the better tackle shops for advice.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
