Verdict

POTTSY THE GURU (3) is racing well with four top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at this track over 1 ¹/16m. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw and rates a primary contender in a similar race. LORD MYRMECIA (2) was in the money here two runs ago before having his colours lowered at his latest appearance over 1 ¹/16m at Melton, beaten 30 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field and he can finish a lot closer this time. JUST JIMMY (1) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1m at Port Pirie. MY ULTIMATE JIMMY (5) broke last start but still managed to finish a neck from the winner in second over 1 5/16m at this course at the second run of his career. Can feature if he brings his Mitch Manners.
