Expecting Jamaican Rumba to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. JAMAICAN RUMBA (3) raced on speed and blitzed the Open graders here by 4.3L as a short-priced favourite. Has to carry 5.5kg more but is good enough to manage. Edmonds-trained stablemate BURNING BELL (8) is the threat. Peaked winning at Eagle Farm before the spell and has prepared for this with two trial win. Has Wiggins and a low gate and the ploy surface won't be an issue. GEMELON BOLT (1) was good here two back and then just a run at Ipswich. Has a handy 2kg claim today and the rails gate advantages around here. THE BILLIONAIRE (5) resumes for the Freedman yard and can perform fresh. Has the outside barrier but should be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Jamaican Rumba over the stablemate Burning Bell.
