Caulfield Race 2 - Sportsbet Blue Diamond Preview (C&G)
ALIBABA (3) debuted in the Merson Cooper over this route and just got into an awkward spot when running on late into third. He'll be better for that with a gap between runs and can progress with experience on his side. EUROCANTO (1) resumes having won the Maribyrnong Trial at Flemington on debut, finishing too well and being put on ice since then. He should continue to improve and can measure up. INVICTO (8) is a colt by I Am Invincible on debut for the Ciaron Maher yard. He looked good showing speed to win a recent Cranbourne trial and it wouldn't shock if he leaped the raced form. HIGH ALERT (7) is a Street Boss colt on debut for the Freedman yard. He's been trialling well up in Sydney and the stable have to be respected. MILSONS POINT (2) was a smart winner on debut at Pakenham and can figure.

Resuming after a break; only one run when won by a nose at Flemington LR Maribyrnong Trl October 4 over 1000m defeating Streisand with 58kg at $8. Scope to improve and can remain unbeaten.

At debut, came from midfield; 3rd of 13 at this track in the LR M Cooper on November 29 over 1000m, slow going 1.4 len behind Eternal Warrior carrying 58kg at $5.50. Better for that and should take beating.

Dual acceptor. Was well-supported at debut, held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at Pakenham 2yo Mdn-Sw on January 9 over 1000m, nose behind Brazen Dechambeau carrying 58kg at $3.60. Nice debut and can figure with improvement.

Two-year-old colt by leading sire I Am Invincible out of Chica Fuerte. Ciaron Maher has him ready for this with three recent trials leading in today's debut. Won his most recent trial at Cranbourne over 800m on January 12. Looks very sharp and can win this.
