Ballina Race 6 - Lennox Hotel Lennox Cup (Bm66)
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. JUKEBOX IN SIBERIA (7) has not raced since leading all the way to score by a whisker over 1400m at Grafton seven weeks ago. Is a winner here at this trip so while fresh he is not out of discussions. Expect a better run from NATIONAL INTEREST (9) who is down a little in grade and fitter for recent racing.

Second-up. First-up after four months tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 7 at Beaudesert Bm65 on May 23 over 1100m, on a slow track; 0.7 len behind Speedy One with 59kg at $6.50. Previously second-up 5th of 8 at Gold Coast Bm68 on November 1 over 1200m, slow going 6 len behind Mount Fuji carrying 57kg at $16. Cannot be ruled out.

Most recently won by 1.0 len at Port Macquarie Cl3 May 27 over 1200m in the wet defeating Dingle Grey with 56kg at $2.70. The run before that won by 4.5 len at Port Macquarie Cl2 May 18 over 1206m in the wet defeating Incantress with 54kg at $9. Going too well to ignore.

At the latest run raced on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 18 at Randwick Highway-C3 on May 23 over 1200m, slow going 6 len behind Exit Fee with 56kg at $31. Before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at Grafton Cl2 March 30 over 1190m defeating Gaylord with 58.5kg at $3.50. Terrific chance to return to form.

Second-up. First-up after seven months 6th of 13 at Gold Coast Bm68 on May 22 over 1200m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Zoufani carrying 56kg at $31. Previously second-up 3rd of 11 at Ballarat Synthetic Bm58 on August 19 over 1500m, 4.5 len behind Vagabond Hero with 59kg at $2.40. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time.
