RHYTHM OF LOVE (15) resumes in this but has been plying his trade in much stiffer company in past campaigns and should appreciate the drop back in grade here. Has a solid fresh record with two wins and a second from four first-up attempts and has saluted on all going. Should be right there at the business end. MINTAKA LAD (11) saves his best form for this six-furlong journey and has been knocking on the door of late. Can make his presence felt. SUBSTANTIAL (5) returns from a lay-off. Placed in a recent trial. Opened last campaign with a fifth at Warwick Farm over 1400m. Can figure. BLUE SPINEL (12) best of the rest from the Gollan yard.
