While 49 youngsters officially remain in the running for Victoria's premier juvenile event, those not entered have provision to pay a $55,000 late entry fee by Monday, February 18 to gain a start in the race. Both of last Saturday's Blue Diamond Preview winners, Miracles of Life and Dissident, are among those for whom a $55,000 late entry fee will be required along with Darley's Metastatio, who will contest the Manfred Stakes.
