BENNY AND THE JETS performed well when placed here last time out and he can go one better than when finishing runner-up that day. The filly has a good draw in this contest and she can get the better of handicap debutant Ice Cave who broke his maiden last time out. Third place can go to Restless Rose who represents a stable going well at present.
