JIMMY THE SCAT

PETER & WILL HULBERT · MARK DU PLESSIS · 3yo Gelding

Comes through a mid-week Maiden win at this track, where he pressed forward, found enough late and beat Volcanic Rush by just under a length. His debut second at Doomben was also honest at big odds, so the early record has substance. The quick back-up and sharp rise from Maiden company into an Open three-year-old race are the sticking points, despite helpful weight relief. Prefer in something easier.
