RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MY ULTIMATE JIMMY (11) has improved in each of his efforts to date and will prove hard to beat despite the extreme draw. He pushed forward to race without cover and produced a very quick last half of 57.2 seconds at Mildura when he scored last outing. JILLIBY MOON (10) ambled forward to find the lead and won easily at Mildura last week. She was impressive at her Mildura debut and should be competitive again. HOOKLINEANDSINKER (9) joins trainer Naomi Kerr and is worth thought at his Mildura debut. He recorded a handy mile rate of 1.57.7 when he won at his debut and his past three efforts have been against handy opposition at Wagga. BRING MY BLING (1) is a fast beginner and is drawn to find her favourite position of being the pacemaker so she is capable of filling a place. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely leader), 6 RATINGS: 10,11/ 9/ 1/ 3
