DIAMONDSAREMIO (3) showed good early speed and raced just off the lead before lifting to score by one length over 6f67yards at Ballina last start. Likely to be in the finish again. CALIDO MAGIC (2) broke his maiden last start over 5f at Taree, scoring by a nose. Serious contender again with the confidence high. TA SET NEFERU (4) is back from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months. Scored a good win at her final run last campaign at Coffs Harbour over 7f. Has to be respected. CAVALHEIRO (12) has not won for a long while. Last raced on December 5 when beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth at Coffs Harbour over 6f. Nicely placed to turn things around.
