Dance winner Rustic Steel goes digging for Diamonds on four-day back-up

Rustic Steel won the Big Dance at Randwick on Tuesday. Kris Lees is preparing him for the Five Diamonds at Rosehill tomorrow. The preparation is similar to in the autumn when he won The Coast at Gosford and six days later picked up the Scone Cup. It is only a four-day turnaround. Ellsberg and Laws Of Indices are the favourites to win the race. The race is worth $2 million each. Rustic steel is a $15 chance. He will have a blood test on Wednesday. If he comes out of it well, he will be able to compete in a double.
