AU - Strathalbyn - Race 3

INNOMINATE (13) warmed nicely late in a strong maiden on debut, then produced another strong finish last time when earning a minor spot. Hitting her straps now and should relish the rise to the mile. If she can settle a pair or two closer, she will prove awfully hard to hold out. KIKKULI (3) was less effective last time but her two prior efforts were full of merit. Willing to forgive fourth-up. Expect him to spear across from the wide draw and give them something to catch. RHINESTONE RORY (4) finds it impossible to get off the mark but has strong efforts littered through his form, none more so than his narrow defeat first-up at Edenhope. Must be taken seriously with Holder booked. THE PUNK ROCKER (5) is building. Strips fitter third-up and will appreciate the rise to the mile, though will likely get a long way back from his draw. Watch for him launching late. SAUNTERING (9) was a big improver at his second start and can take another step forward.
