Port Hedland Race 2 - Kennards Hire (Bm68+)
HIT THE JACKPOT (7) comes onto the dirt for the first time today after a disappointing end to last campaign. He was in good touch prior to that and now gets a senior jock on board for his return. He's won 3/5 first-up and can build on that impressive record here. FRANTIC WAR (5) will be fitter for a recent trial coming into this and has gone through a couple of trainers since his latest effort. Now with the Matthew Stephens barn, but he's got ratings from last campaign that stack up in this field. Can return in good order. GALAXY AFFAIR (2) will appreciate the claim of Jason Li as he brings in some of the best form, beaten 3.1L in Saturday grade at Ascot last time out. He'll need a touch of luck from the draw, but his recent figures stack right up. GRANITE ROCK (6) was in great form at the end of the last campaign with back-to-back wins, the latest over 1615m at Broome nine months ago. Don't underestimate. BORDER CONTROL (1) loves the dirt and can return with a bang.
