Hit The Jackpot has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. SILENT ALERT (9) was good in his only run for the stable back in February where he landed midfield and got over the top. He looks to have gone to another level again judging by his recent trial win and he still has plenty of upside. Pike rides and he can return on a winning note. GOLD MAKER (7) may get back from the barrier, though he only just missed over 1100m at Northam last time out. Azzopardi knows him well and he was right up to his best figures on resumption. Can go close again. LOST GRAVITY (6) got back in the run last start and closed off nicely after being in good form prior to that. Expecting him to sit a lot closer this time around with Brad Parnham replacing the apprentice. Right in the mix. AIN'T NO OTHER MAN (1) drops right back in grade today and can put his best foot forward. FAMOUS JURNEY (5) can be thereabouts on resumption. SUGGESTED PLAY: Silent Alert can return on a winning note.
