ROSE DIAMOND (7) started at 9/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 2.5 lengths at Caulfield Heath over 1m after being in the firing line on the corner. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. SCINTILLANTE (4) was doing his best work late last start to get up for second over 7f22yards at Geelong. All set to run well. NEWCOMBE (3) raced on the pace to the bend before fading to finish fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over this journey at Caulfield Heath. Better than the last run and is among the chances. KILLARNEY (1) was in contention on the bend and finished second last time over 1m at Moe when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 1.75 lengths. Placed to advantage and can fill another top-three spot.
