UNTAPPED (9) was at long odds on debut last time out and finished fourth, beaten 3 lengths, over 5½f in the G3 Blue Diamond Prelude (Colts & Geldings) at Caulfield. Likely improver who should go well. LAST DRUID (5) was prominent from the outset on debut last start and held on well for second, beaten half a length, over 6f at Sandown-Lakeside. Open to sharp improvement and can get off the mark this time. BARBARIC LAD (2) drifted back on debut last start then wound up nicely to finish in the placings over 6f at Sandown-Lakeside. Promising type with improvement to come so he can feature again. SHE SMASHES (11) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 0.6 lengths from the winner in third over 5½f at this track. Open to plenty of improvement.
