Darley has confirmed it will have three runners in Saturday’s Blue Diamond Stakes, paying late entry fees for Montsegur and Metastasio.

The two join Sheikh Mohammed’s leading hope Guelph who is the favourite for Victoria’s richest two-year-old race.

Connections of the Peter Moody-trained Dissident also outlaid $55,000 on Monday to put him in the $1 million Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m).

Second favourite Miracles Of Life was paid up to compete on Friday.

Darley’s number one jockey Kerrin McEvoy will wait until after Tuesday’s barrier draw to decide whether he rides Guelph or Metastasio.

Glen Boss will be aboard whichever he rejects while Christian Reith will partner Montsegur.

The final field for the Group One feature at Caulfield will be declared on Tuesday.
