Johnny Roo Boy is a back-to-back winner and was last seen winning the James Kirby at Grafton in advance of Lady Jetsetter when jumping 2nd to sit 2 wide before chasing solidly to hit the front with 250m to go, holding off all challenges to score the valuable prize.
Johnny Roo Boy has won 3 from his last five on country and provincial tracks and although harder here, winning form should not be ignored.
Best of luck to all connected at Randwick on Saturday.
