The Mike Moroney-trained Rhythm To Spare won last time out at Flemington and he looked in good order as prepared for his intended start at Caulfield on Saturday with a comfortable work on the steeple grass.

Markers on the steeple grass were out two metres, riders reporting the ground riding in the good (2) range.

Racenet has compiled a list of times below with an analysis of the work to assist punters.
