    Race Analysis

    HOT TORQUE INVEGAS (12) was a winner over 5½f at Mackay last time, racing on the pace before getting the upper hand and scoring by a nose. Among the top chances again. RUSSIAN SUMMER (9) ran on strongly but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 6¼f at Cairns. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MELO MELO KAVA (10) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before fading to finish fourth, beaten 1. 75 lengths, last start over 6f at Mackay. Well placed and expected to feature. KOBAYASTAR (11) finished 2. 4 lengths back from the winner last start at this track on soft going and is down in weight this time. Reunites with Chris Whiteley who has two wins from three rides. Worth including in calculations.
