Cracking tempo looks assured with many of these capable of pushing on early. TOO HOT TO TORQUE (6) beat all but an in-form Dance Gavin Dance first-up at this track then repaid favourite backers when a tidy winner over 1206m at Port Macquarie last start. That run followed a five-week let-up so he should tighten up further. Hard to tip against. BRING ME SAKI (5) was 54 days between runs when down the track in a 1200m Randwick Highway last time out. Scored in a Class 2 the run prior at Grafton. Nicely drawn and in the right race to return to form. VIXENETTE (10) made some late inroads but was never a factor first-up over 1200m at the Gold Coast recently. Won't find this as tough so a better run is anticipated. PATRIOTICINTENTION (2) is in the mix again following back-to-back wins. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Too Hot To Torque.
