All dots up. If the beveled edge is on the opposite side of the dot, its the second ring. 90% sure on this, but I would still check with speed pro to be absolutely sure.

Used rings strecthed three times ,once on,once off and then on again, is not a good idea. New rings are way cheaper then another complete tear down to fix a gouged cylinder. Plus the possible need of new pistons and rings to fit the new bored block if the gouge is deep enough.
