During circuit training, a Diamond DA40 lost sight and turned ahead of a Fairchild SA227 joining downwind. The controller instructed the DA40 to turn left, re-join upwind and follow a Piper PA-28 on initial climb. The pilot of the DA40 identified the incorrect aircraft, resulting in the DA40 positioning above the PA-28 in close proximity and the DA40 was instructed to climb to increase separation.
