Gun fillies lock horns
The Group 2 Blue Diamond Prelude for the fillies sees a classy bunch of juveniles step out over 1100m in preparation for next fortnight's Blue Diamond Stakes.
All eyes will be on Godolphin galloper Arcaded and the talented Tayla’s Moment, who have been all class in their short careers to date.
The Phillip Stokes trained Bird Of Dubai and Decent Raine bring a great deal of intrigue in a race where the chances are aplenty.

Caulfield Race 2 - Blue Diamond Prelude 1100m (Group 2)
The Map 
There's plenty of speed engaged here, with Lady Audrey (8) pressing forward from the outside to lead, while Decent Raine (2) can kick up to hold a position from barrier 2.
Arcaded (7) and Tayla’s Moment (6) map to get the runs of the race, box seating in behind the leader from midfield draws.
Look for Bird Of Dubai (3) and Tempest Charm (9) to settle towards the rear.
Godolphin gallopers Telluride (4) and Piccarones (10) will look to take up midfield positions, with the latter likely to be posted from barrier 10.
Analysis & Tips 
1st Tayla's Moment $6.00
I'm keen on the Ellerton & Zahra trained daughter of Shalaa to break her maiden here at a nice E/W quote.
She maps to get a dream run settling in the first five with cover from the midfield draw.
From there, she'll prove hard to hold out if she has improved since splitting leading Blue Diamond contenders Dosh and Frost Flowers here in the Blue Diamond Preview on Australia Day.
On debut she ran time finishing 1.5 lengths behind Frost Flowers, and will no doubt appreciate stepping up in trip to 1100m.
2nd Bird Of Dubai
The clear value runner in this event who can win without surprising.
The progressive Stokes trained filly was completely luckless first up over 1000m at Moonee Valley when narrowly missing behind Telluride and will appreciate the step up in trip.
On debut she flashed home behind the well credentialed Fake Love and will again be motoring late and is set to get the genuine tempo she requires to be wining.
3rd Arcaded
Her debut victory at this track and trip was pleasing to the eye but the clock didn’t back that up.
The times indicated an effort 1l behind class average but she’s open to significant improvement and will benefit from having experience at the track.
4th Picarones
Was beaten 4.6l into third by the talented Artorius last time out at Sandown when well supported.
I don’t expect him to be winning this, but he’s a must include in your exotic plays.
