SLINGSHOT (2) was unplaced on debut then last start finished second over 1207m at Thistledown after being prominent at the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. DRILL SGT GABE (8) has started twice, running a good second on debut then finishing seventh, beaten 12 lengths, last time over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Backmarker who keeps coming. Expected to prove tough to beat. KENTUCKY RUMBLE (5) ran a better race last time at his second career start when third over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Further improvement likely so keep him safe. FULL OF MALICE (1) is a five-start maiden who is well and truly overdue, finishing second at this track (Dirt) over 1106m last time out. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
