TRAINER Peter Snowden will determine if he has extra ammunition to add to Blue Diamond Stakes favourite Earthquake when he runs three juveniles in Saturday's Previews at Caulfield.
While Earthquake dominates betting at $3.60 for the Group 1 dash on February 22, Snowden will start Mohave and Elevates in the Listed Preview (1000m) for colts and geldings and Sakitto in the fillies division.
Mohave was runner-up in the Breeders Plate (1000m) at Randwick on October 5 while Elevates will be making his racing debut. Sakitto has been to Caulfield twice for two seconds.
Earthquake, who won the Birthday Plate (1000m) by 2½ lengths on debut at Randwick on November 9, is set to make her Melbourne debut in the fillies Prelude on February 8 after a barrier trial at Cranbourne on Thursday week.
Mohave impressed Peter's son Paul in a jump-out at Flemington on Friday and he will be ridden by Glen Boss.
He said Mohave ran times that measured up to older horses in the trial.
"He's a serious horse and would definitely be a chance (in the Blue Diamond) as long as he gets there on the day in good form and fit and well," Paul Snowden said.
Also looking to add to its arsenal is Team Hawkes, which will run London Lolly in the fillies Preview, after producing quality juveniles Bugatty and Nostradamus recently.
She will run into the Tony Vasil-trained Fontein Ruby, who was scratched at Caulfield last Wednesday when she hit her head while being saddled. She needs to race on Saturday over an unsuitable distance because of the missed run as she has not raced since being runner-up on debut on Boxing Day.
Gerald Ryan will start Rubick, a colt he rates as the best young horse he's trained since Snitzel, in Saturday's 2YO Plate (1000m) at Randwick and not bring him to Melbourne until the Prelude.
Quality juvenile Risen From Doubt, trained by Tony McEvoy and one of the early favourites after his emphatic Maribyrnong Trial Stakes win, will concentrate on the Golden Slipper and bypass the Diamond.
