PRECISE TORQUE (5) returns after six months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a eighth over 5½f at Mackay. Should present well following a recent trial win. Looks the one to beat. TIME POWER (7) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a second over 6½f at Mackay. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. AUGUST JOE (3) went forward and gave a great sight when second over 5¼f at this track on debut last start. Has the pace to take up a good early position from the favourable alley. Sure to be competitive. BITTER SPIRIT (1) made late ground and finished third last time over 5¼f at this track when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 4 lengths. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Placed to advantage and can fill another top-three spot.
