New Zealand colt Jimmy Choux has drawn barrier one for this Saturday's Derby.

Trainer John Bary would've preferred him to be a little bit out, but conceded it was better than most options.

The horse will face 13 others at Randwick this Saturday as he attempts to become a dual Derby winner, and is the favourite to win.

The second favourite, Absolutelyawesome, was not among the final acceptors after suffering a foot abscess.
