IM BOBBY (7) draws deep but is in form, winning by a big margin at this circuit and distance before venturing north and again proving too good by 8.5m at Menangle last week. With even luck from the barrier he can land the hat trick. ALDEBARAN VERA (3) is ticking along well and could be close to a win after placing in two of her last three starts here, last time leading from this barrier and sticking on before going under by 2.5m. May prove tricky to catch. MUFASA METRO (2) has never missed a place when second-up so look for big improvement with the aid of a low draw. ALDEBARAN ZEUS (6) has ground to make up on Im Bobby through his last-start third from this barrier but he did a manage a win here three back. PLYMOUTH CHUBB (4) worked and faded last start but was racing consistently prior so can do better.
