Ballina Race 3 - Lawrence & Hanson Mdn Hcp
AMAZIGH TORQUE (2) nice filly who brings a solid set of figures here third-up. Can go on with it today after she chased hard with a sound second over 1180m at Grafton. Should prove too strong for these from the low draw. WEEKEND ARTIST (8) is back after a break of five months. Has a decent first-up record and since fitted with a 1000m trial at the Gold Coast. Can make his presence felt. WITNESS DIS (9) resumes after failing to see the 1720m out when eighth at Grafton on November 30. Ran some okay races over the shorter trips and fitted with the one trial. TALES OF FORTUNE (1) Star Turn gelding from a Your Song mare on debut for the James Hepworth stable. Ran fourth in his latest trial over 900m at Beaudesert. Worth thought.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, made ground from midfield; 3rd of 11 at Grafton Ctry Mdn-Sw on March 15 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind Lord Of Flames with 56.5kg at $3.70. Second-up came from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Grafton Ctry Mdn on April 7 over 1180m, 3 len behind Archie Maximus carrying 56.5kg at $6. Progressing well and looks hard to beat in this weak contest.

Back from a long spell. Only had one start last preparation raced behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 10 at Gunbower Mdn-Sw on October 4 over 1800m, 6 len behind Grunnettan with 56.5kg at $7.50. First up last campaign ran last of 8 at Kilmore Mdn-Sw on March 14 2025 over 1612m, 18 len behind Banker's Victory with 59kg at $13. Doubt he will trouble these.
