DIAMOND GUST (3) resumes. Two runs last time in were good, placing in both and the form out of them reads well. First up last campaign he ran third to Vivid Sun at Sandown Hillside who was heavily bet in a Listed race next time out. He can be an improver off a short spell here and should take plenty of beating from the good draw. CHICAGO BLUES (1) is racing well, running an honest race in the G3 Blue Sapphire Stakes at Caulfield last time out. That's not the strongest Group race but it's still good form for this and he should take catching. ESMAHLI (5) has raced twice to date, winning well on debut here over 1000m before a solid effort last time, again at this track and distance. He has plenty of upside and should land in a great spot for Currie. DUBAI ADVENTURE (4) won well on debut here and is open to improvement and is next best from HI VAL (6) who also comes through the Blue Sapphire.

    Third race start today. When well in the market at debut, came from midfield and won by 1.3 len at this track Mdn-Sw November 10 over 1000m on a soft track defeating Ruby Avenue with 58kg at $3.40. Second-up held ground to the line 3rd of 12 at this track Cg&E Bm62 on November 27 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Rosa Aotearoa carrying 59kg at $3.40. Coming along nicely and should be right in the mix again.

    Most recently 5th of 10 at Caulfield in the G3 Blue Sapphire on November 29 over 1200m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Motorsports carrying 57kg at $11. The race before that sat on the pace when 3rd of 8 at Caulfield Heath 3yo F Bm64 on November 12 over 1100m, slow going 2.25 len behind Blaze Away with 59kg at $19. Easier here, sets up nicely.

Finished off last preparation third in a small field at Bendigo 3yo Bm64 September 17 over 1300m, soft track; 2 len behind Single Choice with 59.5kg at $2.20. When resuming last campaign third of 7 at Sandown-Hillside 3yo Bm64 September 3 over 1300m, 2.5 len behind Vivid Sun carrying 59.5kg at $4.40. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Form last time reads well, expecting he goes close on his home
