Verdict

HIT THE JACKPOT (7) bolted in here two back before leading and failing at Roebourne last time out over 7f. Back to 6f now might suit him a little better and he carries less weight here stepping up in grade. Can find the front and be in this for a very long way. ROYALZEL (4) flew home over 6 ½f here last start to just miss as the fav, beaten 0.3L. The form out of that has already worked out well and he loves this track and trip. Can go one better this time around. GALAXY AFFAIR (1) came from well back on the bend and hit the line strongly to score over 6 ½f at this track last time out. Best form puts him right in this. CATALPA (6) finished fourth last start over 6f at Roebourne after racing on the pace for much of the way. Sure to give a sight. STAR POWER (5) was too good at Roebourne last start and has to come into calculations.
