Carl Di Iorio Jockey(s) to watch: Laura Lafferty is yet to ride a city winner but that should change quickly in 2021. The vast majority of her winners, as is the case with most apprentices early in their career, settled top three, but she's won races during December with some intelligent off-pace rides, displaying greater timing and composure. I predict that Damien Oliver will win this season's Melbourne Jockeys' Premiership. He's ridden almost enough seconds to complete a minute already this season although his choice of rides will be slightly impacted by the minimum weight in the metropolitan area returning to 54kg.
