The field is out for the $1.5million Group I MRC Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) this weekend with the powerful Ciaron Maher and David Eustace stable to saddle six of the runners.
Race favourite is undefeated Street Boss (USA) colt Hanseatic for Godolphin, while Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner Away Game is an $11 chance and will give her sire Snitzel a great chance to cement his place at the top of the leading Australoian two year old sires table.
I Am Invincible colt Rulership was a good second to Hanseatic at his first Melbourne appearance and has drawn favourably in seven.
The field and barrier draw for the 2020 Blue Diamond Stakes is:
