Cuban Lord is the likely leader and should be able to get there comfortably. RHINESTONE RORY (12) is a long-time maiden but he has shown enough ability to win a race like this. He has placed in seven of his 20 starts, including a couple of narrow defeats. He carries 52kg after the claim and is right in this, despite his winless record. Happy to take the punt that he'll handle the jump in distance. FIORENTE SPRITZ (7) mixes her form but is capable on her day. If she runs up to her best then she can fight out the finish. CUBAN LORD (2) is consistent and should get all the favours with the good draw and a handy claim. The stablemates MENACE TO SOBRIETY (6) and GOT AN INSPIRATION (8) are going well enough to include in exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Rhinestone Rory on an each-way basis.
