Stay tuned for our insider Blue Diamond Fillies Preview 2025 Tips on the important Group 3 showdown this January.
- To Win: #5 Price Tag ($5 at time of publish) – BET NOW
Big field of 2YO fillies facing off in one of the day’s features and the majority are on debut. One of the exceptions in the wide-open race and the current narrow favourite still at a good price is Price Tag. She is a maiden racing first-up ready to win fresh after a solid opening campaign in the spring. Anthony & Sam Freedman’s nicely bred daughter of Zoustar ran third on debut in the Listed Maribyrnong Trial before a credible Group 3 fourth in the Maribyrnong Plate. Two nice jump outs leading up to her return have her fit. Tyler Schiller comes on from the inside alley. Can win.
2025 Blue Diamond Preview (Fillies) Field
The Blue Diamond Fillies Preview field features a quality line-up of lightly raced two-year-old fillies at the start of their autumn campaigns and is released by Racing Victoria the week of the race.
The 2025 Blue Diamond Fillies Preview final field features a capacity line-up of youngsters with Price Tag narrowly heading the current markets to break her maiden status first-up at her third start.

Blue Diamond Preview (Fillies) History
The Blue Diamond Preview (Fillies) was first run in 1982 as a Listed race and Olive Branch was the inaugural winner.
Plenty of classy fillies have since won the event including Bounding Away (1986), Triscay (1990), Rostova (2009), Crystal Lily (2010), Miracles Of Life (2013), and Eloping (2014).
The race was upgraded to a Group 3 event from 1988-2004, dropped back to Listed class from 2005-14 and regained its current Group 3 status again in 2015. From 1982-83 the race was run over 1200m but has been contested over a shorter 1000m distance since 1984.
Sandown Racecourse has also hosted the Blue Diamond Preview races on a number of occasions. The 2005 edition of the race was declared by stewards as a ‘No Race’ after two of the fillies had a “flying start” and jumped through the stalls before the barriers officially opened.
In 2017 the Blue Diamond Fillies Preview runner up Tulip went on to run third in that autumn’s Group 1 $5 million Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) in Sydney.
