Rhinestone Rory and Pianta should roll forward and dictate. BLINDATO (8) was sent straight to town after a dominant maiden win but got too far back and only warmed late. Will find this easier and is drawn kinder. Rises sharply in trip third-up and looks the one to beat. RHINESTONE RORY (6) finally got off the mark two back when leading all the way at Bordertown as favourite, then showed good dash again last start here but was run down late into second. Expect him to push forward again and give a bold sight. SMOKIN' ROHIE (7) bounced back sharply third-up when sent forward on a wet deck at Horsham, finishing a close second. Rock-hard fit now with two tick-over trials between runs. Draws well and can go one better this time. OTTO'S DREAM (9) broke through for his maiden win over 1600m at Port Augusta last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. BLACK SEA (2) should be nearing a peak effort now fourth-up and debuts the blinkers. Wary of sharp improvement. SUGGESTED PLAY: Blindato to win.
