HIT THE JACKPOT (7) returns after a lay-off of five months. Looking to emulate his win at Belmont Park when returning from a lay-off last prep. Should be hard to stop. FRANTIC WAR (5) resumes from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months and is having his first outing under new trainer Matthew Stephens. Finished tenth at Albany over 5f at the opening run last time in work. Fitter for a seventh in a recent trial over 4¾f at Lark Hill. Definite winning chance this line-up. GALAXY AFFAIR (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3 lengths when sixth over 7f at Ascot five weeks ago. Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form. GRANITE ROCK (6) was in great form at the end of the last campaign with back-to-back wins, the latest over 1m at Broome nine months ago. Should camp just off the leaders. Don't underestimate.
