TORQUE SO HOT (3) returns from a six-month spell after showing promise in his maiden campaign when favourite in his two runs. Has been gelded since then and looked very good winning a Doomben trial on 2 June. Should be too smart for this modest field. TAKE SHELTER (2) has not raced since a tiring seventh on debut over 1200m at Beaudesert on 6 February. Should appreciate the sharper trip today so a bright return will not surprise. EGYPTIAN LASS (6) has led for home at her last couple of runs, the best effort two back when she was nailed on the line over 1115m at Grafton. Gets through the heavy ground okay and might prove tough to catch. DECOY (5) showed no early pace when fresh from a spell over 950m at Moree recently but did rally late. Fitter and the small field suits. PRIDE OF NATIONS (8) filled a placing at her only try over this distance. In contention off a seven-week let-up.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when sat on the speed throughout before fading second last of 8 at Beaudesert Mdn-Sw on February 6 over 1200m, 6 len behind Save The Roses carrying 57.5kg at $19. Should return in better shape this prep.

Resuming after a six months break. Finished off last campaign fourth of 9 at Lismore Ctry Mdn December 19 over 1310m, 0.9 len behind Artie Lady with 57kg at $2.20. On debut fifth of 9 at Coffs Harbour Super Mdn December 4 over 1212m, 4 len behind Baby Ryan with 56.5kg at $4. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Everything points to a winning return.

Second-up. First-up after three months 4th of 11 at Moree Mdn-Sw on June 2 over 950m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Boomtime Now with 57kg at $12. Previously second-up ran last of 8 at Kembla Grange Mdn-Sw on February 24 over 1000m, 10 len behind Fairway To Heaven with 56.5kg at $18. Rates highly and expected to do much better with that run under her belt.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 4th of 10 at Coffs Harbour Mdn-Sw on June 3 over 1014m, on a wet track; 3.5 len behind Three Red Chooks with 54kg at $15. The start before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 11 at Grafton Mdn-Sw on May 16 over 1115m, on heavy track; nose behind Not So Dubious with 55kg at $8.50. Hard to beat on her best form.

The race before that ran last of 7 at Armidale Ctry Mdn on April 16 over 1400m, 11 len behind Midnight Rhythm carrying 55kg at $61. Capable of a big run while fresh.
