Tips for the All Aged Stakes 

The Pickabookie.com.au early selection is Jimmysstar. After a stunning first up the Ciaron Maher-trained runner got too far back when favourite in the William Reid at Moonee Valley and despite a late surge could only finish third.

With a preference to be ridden quietly and pick up late the extra 200 metres could make all the difference and with form on soft ground and having won previously when third up there are plenty of reasons to get behind the pick. Having finished 4th in the TJ Smith over 1200m having sat right off the pace, there is plenty of reasons to think he is due a win.
