Some big names have been nominated for Saturday’s Caulfield program

The Spring Racing Carnival's most dominant Group 1 winner, the Patinack Farm Blue Diamond Stakes favourite and one of Australia's most exciting sprinters are likely to add star factor to Saturday's Caulfield card.

Mosheen, Jimando and Bel Sprinter have all been nominated to kick off campaigns at what is the final Saturday meeting before the Melbourne Festival of Racing begins.

The $100,000 Listed Manfred Stakes (1200m) will see Mosheen make her first appearance since demolishing her rivals in the Crown Oaks in November.

The classy daughter of Fastnet Rock was nominated to tackle Black Caviar in last Friday night's Group 2 Australia Stakes, but trainer Robert Smerdon has opted for the easier option against her own age.

Classy Mick Price-trained gelding Secret Hills, rising star That's The One, consistent colt Highly Recommended and promising stayer Collar are among Mosheen's potential rivals in what is one of four $100,000 Listed events on the eight-event card.

The Chairman's Handicap presents the Tony McEvoy-trained Jimando with the chance to protect his place at the head of Blue Diamond markets.

The hulking son of Commands will return to the scene of his dominant Debutants Stakes win on Thousand Guineas Day, which remains the only time the colt has been to the race.

The 1100m event will almost certainly be his only start before the $1 million Patinack Farm Blue Diamond Stakes, at Caulfield on 25 February, for which he is the $5 favourite with TAB Sportsbet.

He has some highly-rated types for possible competition, however, including Maribyrnong Plate runner-up Andre Roo Hoo, Flemington winner Formidable, last week's Blue Diamond Preview placegetter Timely Truce and Peter Snowden-trained blueblood Forget, a son of Exceed And Excel and Thousand Guineas winner Mnemosyne.

Jason Warren's speedy Bel Sprinter, whose five starts have produced four wins and a narrow last-start second in the Group 3 Bobbie Lewis Quality, returns in the W.J. Adams Stakes (1000m).

It will be the Bel Esprit gelding's only start before his first shot at Group 1 glory, in the Sportingbet Oakleigh Plate on 25 February, and he should get a good hit out with First Command, Definitely Ready, Decircles and General Truce also among the Adams Stakes entries.

Saturday's other co-feature is the Mornington Cup Prelude (2000m), for which impressive Australia Day winner Rainbow Styling and last-start Listed Christmas Cup winner Sea Galleon head the list of 21 entries.

Most will be on trial for a crack at the $300,000 Listed Mornington Cup (2400m), which will be run on Wednesday 15 February and again carries a ballot exemption from this year's $2.5 million BMW Caulfield Cup.
