GOING: G(4)

Sportsbet Green Tick Maiden Plate 1550m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: True.  

Only a small field with Rhinestone Rory likely to find a comfortable lead. RHINESTONE RORY (4) has recorded two minor placings from three runs this preparation. Produced another good effort last time when placing over 1607m at Stawell after he was prominent throughout. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. DISCREETLY BLUE (1) was beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth in a 1600m contest at Murray Bridge his latest. Best efforts measure up and he's a winning chance in this lineup. COPPERFLANGE (7) was better at Balaklava and has plenty of scope for improvement. Pannell sticking aboard is a positive. GLOWING COMMAND (2) will be in the mix if he backs up. ROCK SHOT (5) peaks but needs to lift to threaten. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Rhinestone Rory.
