Sunshine Coast Race 1 - Higgins Sunshine Coast Hcp
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.

Two-year-old gelding having first run by first season sire Jungle Cat out of Annatime. Purchased for AUD $ 20,000 (Magic Millions 2025 Gold Coast Yearling Sale). Won a trial over 1000m at Sunshine Coast Inner Track on March 5. A bold run is likely.

Had two starts to date. At debut, 4th of 8 at Eagle Farm 2yo Mdn-Sw on February 4 over 1000m, 7 len behind Cherry Bomshell carrying 58kg at $16. Second-up eased back early on 5th of 8 at Eagle Farm 2yo C&G Hcp on February 28 over 1000m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Boomtowns carrying 57kg at $51. Well suited and is sure to prove tough to beat.
