Jungle Fever possesses good early speed and is likely to be up front. TORQUE BOSSANOVA (3) got going late when finishing 6th of 8 in 1000m Bm58 at this track on March 15. That was only his second start and first since winning a maiden at the Sunshine Coast in March 2023. Open to improvement in second run from a lengthy lay-off and from a decent draw he can make his presence felt here. JUNGLE FEVER (4) covered ground last start when finishing 2.7 lengths of the winner in 6th in 1100m Gatton 0-58 Hcp. Three starts back started right in the market when finishing second in this grade at this track over 1000m. A repeat of that has him right in the mix here. GALLERY MASTER (15) does not win often but was only beaten just over a length two starts ago at the Sunshine Coast in 1000m C1 after leading. Could show up in this grade. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Torque Bossanova.
