Gai Waterhouse is leaning towards running impressive two-year-old Raceway in the Canonbury Stakes at Warwick Farm over the Blue Diamond, no decision has been officially made as yet. Gai is also looking at running two-year-old No Looking Back in the Blue Diamond with no decision on whether they'll push on to the Sires. The Mick Price trained Coolmore Classic winner Aloha has been retired by her owner Gerry Harvey after reportedly not enjoying her latest preparation. She will start her new career as a broodmare. Trainer John Thompson has reported his smart two-year-old Real Stolle had a successful jump out last Friday and will now go to the Blue Diamond Prelude hopefully en-route to the final. Glyn Schofield will ride Manawanui and Hay List on Tuesday and Wednesday this week before making the agonising decision on whether to ride in Melbourne (Hay List - Lightning Stakes) or Sydney (Manawanui) on February 18th. Jason Warren says that his exciting sprinter Bel Sprinter really enjoyed his strong gallop at Sandown on Friday and will resume this Saturday in the W.J Adams Stakes (1000m) at Caulfield on Saturday. Colin and Cindy Alderson will nominate their promising galloper That's the One for Saturday's Manfred Stakes at Caulfield setting up a potential clash with VRC Oaks winner Mosheen.
