The faith of connections in Stay Focused is infectious, with a plan mapped out targeting the Blue Diamond Stakes even before the son of Cosmic Force made an exciting debut in Saturday’s $150,000 Rex Gorell Geelong Diamond Hcp (1100m) at Geelong.

Aeliana’s late charge into second place in the $1.5million Group I MRC Thousand Guineas last Saturday stamped her as the filly to follow out of the race, but it wasn’t quite enough to put her sire Castelvecchio to the top of the second season sires list and he is now out of service at Arrowfield following surgery last week.
