Then last Saturday, Matt Laurie’s Coleman toyed with his rivals to win the Chairman’s Stakes to make it two wins from two starts.

Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott also produced an outstanding filly to win the Widden Stakes at Rosehill with Lady Of Camelot winning easily.

Lady Of Camelot could be joined by several other recent winners from the stable in the Blue Diamond Stakes.

If High Octane could win impressively he’s likely to return to the top of the markets.

At Playup, Lady Of Camelot is a $5 favourite with Coleman at $5.50 and High Octane third favourite at $6 for the Blue Diamond Stakes.
