Good speed anticipated with a large number of first starters lining up. SLING (3) returns to her home track after a 2.3L defeat in town at Eagle Farm. Won't find this assignment nearly as tough and presents third-up with a key jockey switch to Ben Thompson. The one to beat. SHE'S HOTSTUFF (5) didn't get warm against her own sex on the same day but Michael Rodd stays aboard and she can improve into the finish. The betting will be key with the debutants. JUNGLE RHYTHM (1) won his latest trial here over 1000m on the inner track and has been well educated. Looks ready to go. Ditto POINT DRIVEN (2), who also debuts at home and on the same day he missed a nose in an 850m trial. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sling to win.
