JIMMY JIMMY did what was expected of him when winning a Gowran bumper last month and he can make a successful start over hurdles here. Hand In My Pocket will be a tough opponent to crack after a string of accomplished efforts, including over hurdles on debut last time. Serpolette holds each-way claims.
