Expecting Esquel to take up the running with Commissions and Hit The Jackpot close at hand. HIT THE JACKPOT (6) turned in a sound effort last time but found a couple better at Roebourne over 1103m, beaten one length. Should be at his peak now. Building nicely and boasts a strong third-up record. Can get the job done this time. ESQUEL (5) finished 5.5 lengths adrift in fourth when resuming from a break and having her first look at a dirt track last start over today's course and distance. Boasts a strong second-up record and is among the main hopes. COMMISSIONS (3) resumes from a spell of seven months. Has filled a minor placing at both first-up runs. Opened last prep with a third over 1435m at Broome. One of the better prospects. ROYALZEL (4) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1406m at Roebourne, finishing 5.5 lengths from the winner. Serious contender. CATALPA (2) has claims in the small field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hit The Jackpot can get the job done.
