Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Frosty's Gotcha, Turbo Torque and Notforthemoney to control the tempo. TURBO TORQUE (3) has placed third in two of four runs this prep, including last start when after showing good early speed from the inside draw raced on the speed and fought on well over 1500m at this track when sent out as the hot favourite. Dropping back in distance rates well as a main danger. NOTFORTHEMONEY (7) went forward from a wide draw last time out to race on the speed but faded in the run home to finish 11th of 13 over 1400m at Townsville. Will go forward to race on the pace and in his third run this prep will strip fitter and is expected to figure in the finish. HERE'S MASON (11) after making a poor beginning raced well back in the running and failed to fire, finishing sixth of 11 over 1300m at Mackay last start. Looks well placed and over a longer trip can return to form. BELVEDERE MISS (4) came home strongly from sixth of eight into the turn last start to finish a head second over 1100m at Mackay on debut when well supported. Fitter and can go one better. SUGGESTED PLAY: Turbo Torque looks ready to win.
