Speed Rock and Johnnie Pinch can set an even tempo. Competitive. ROYAL DISPATCH (3) won a 60 and then stepped up to this distance at Launceston and was narrowly beaten in stronger, positioning forward. The 2kg claim offsets some of the weight rise and he draws to advantage. Can improve again and bounce back. JOHNNIE PINCH (1) found one too good seeking the hat-trick in Open grade. Needs luck pushing forward but finds easier and the 3kg claim brings him into it. NO RUMOURS (8) brings strong form from Victoria on an 11-day return. He did a good job last time beaten 1.5L at Sandown-Hillside over 2400m, and should manage the return to a middle distance. The wide gate is a niggle but he has John Allen in the saddle and is up to this. MILES 'N' MILES (7) would have a hope putting his best foot forward. Uses the low barrier and forget the latest when he was outgraded. RUBBLEONTHEDOUBLE (5) disappointed back to a mile, but the form this distance prior would see him competitive. Newitt replaces the 3kg apprentice. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Royal Dispatch.
