SIR JIMMY (11) hasn't raced for six weeks but brings strong form from Victoria having won his last two outings at Melton. He'll have to overcome the outside barrier but has the gate speed to get across so expect him to measure right up. MIKI BE GOOD (4) has been racing well with a string of top-three finishes including a second in a similar race to this the last time he raced here. Contender. CHICAGO BART (9) returns from a successful trip to Brisbane where he won two of four starts, the latest by 2m at Albion Park. Draws deep but is going well. BANDIT EYES (1) has been racing well at this circuit, placing in all three starts since a win over this distance. Led and stuck on last time so can give a sight from the inside draw. ROYAL DIVISION (10) made a winning start for the Rixon stable at Penrith. Draws deep this time but is yet to miss a place at this distance.
