Compak and Jackemjames can pave the way. BORDER CONTROL (4) resumed here this grade with a comfortable win. Carries more weight, but he's improved, and Yuill is a key jockey switch replacing the 3kg apprentice. JACKEMJAMES (1) went close this level at Roebourne as favourite and will be fitter again. Keeps the handy 4kg claim and is a live chance. BLAZING PASSION (2) found Border Control too good here last time and brought strong Esperance form to that. She also has claims. OUR KIWI PRINCESS (5) is busting to win and gets in well with the 3kg claim. In the mix. Ditto COMPAK (3), who resumed here in good order, and he's a second-up winner with more to give. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Border Control.
