Will Dogs ‘hit the jackpot’?

Western Bulldogs’ devotees could be in for a ‘windfall’ with an AFL/Greys offer from betting giant, TAB.

The ‘Saturday night special’ is $5.00 for Bulldogs goal-sneak Josh Bruce to kick 3+ goals against his former team St. Kilda and Jackpot to win at The Meadows.

He’s currently equal second with Adelaide Crows’ Taylor “Tex” Walker in the Coleman Medal race with 27 goals (averaging three goals per game), behind Carlton’s Harry McKay on 33.

Bruce is $1.85 to kick his average again this week.

Meanwhile, the Ben Magri-trained Jackpot is ideally drawn in the ‘red’ alley to make it four wins in a row and take out the GRV Vic Bred Series Grade 5 final (525m).

He’s won five races from 12 starts, including three from five over this track/distance with a 29.97sec PB.

Bounce down for the Bulldogs vs Saints clash at Marvel Stadium is 7.25pm, while Jackpot is in Race 5 Box 1 at 8.00pm.

WATCH: It’s a ‘bonanza’ for Jackpot (3) in a GRV Vic Bred Series Grade 5 heat at The Meadows.
