PRINCE OF DIAMONDS (2) was impressive last time over 7f65yards at Esk, scoring by 2.5 lengths. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Among the leading chances. KELLERS SHELTER (5) was in the money two starts back at Esk but was unable to repeat the effort last time when ninth, beaten 6 lengths, at Rockhampton over 1m. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is perfectly placed to score. ITALIAN VIRTUOSO (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2 lengths when fifth over 7½f at Kilcoy two weeks ago. Has the talent to put the recent run of form behind him. LATE NIGHT DEVIL (7) turned in a modest performance when second last time out over 7f192yards at Wondai, beaten 5 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. One of the main hopes.
