JIMMYSSTAR (1) returned from a lay-off last start with a strong win by 1.3 lengths over 5½f in the G1 Oakleigh Plate at Caulfield. REY MAGNERIO (3) led to the turn over 6f in the G1 Newmarket Handicap at Flemington last time out but faded to finish 11th. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Likely to feature. STRETAN ANGEL (6) has been in the placings at both runs this prep, most recently a closing third over 6f in the G1 Newmarket Handicap at Flemington. Worth including. BENEDETTA (5) finished tenth last time out over 6f at Flemington, beaten 6 lengths. Distance specialist with four wins from eight runs. Hard to knock.
