Cairns Race 8 - Ladbrokes Blackbook Mdn Plate
ZIG ZAG TORQUE (11) raced once in the maiden preparation when fifth at Ipswich over 1100m back on April 9 2025. This is an easier assignment and can improve sharply. SENSEI GIRL (8) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten a nose, over 950m at this track when returning from a break. Leading player again. TIME POWER (5) made progress last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1100m at Gordonvale after being prominent at the bend. Goes up a rung or two but he is up to the task. I'LLTELLYOUAFTER (7) was out of the money two runs back then just missed the frame last start over 950m at this circuit, beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.

First starter by Invader out of Platinum Ruby. Half-brother to 15-time winner Yes Dream. Dam was a winner of three races. Only trial was May 15 at Cairns when third over 850m. Inside barrier will assist chances. Watch for market confidence.

Second run back. First-up after five months 2nd of 8 at this track Mdn on May 15 over 950m, on heavy track; nose behind Rocky Prince with 56.5kg at $14. Previously second-up ran last of 12 at Townsville 3yo Hcp on December 28 over 1000m, on a slow track; 18 len behind Evareadymiss with 54kg at $151. Sure to be fitter and rates to go close again.
