PAW SAPPHIRE (3) used the rails draw to advantage to get home last time at Sandown over 515m (29.66), scoring by 4 lengths. The one to beat again. SHE'S PRIMED (1) finished fourth last time at Ballarat but could not have been more impressive before that in her convincing 23.85 win at Bendigo over 425m. Top win two back and rates a key player again. PERIODICAL (2) scorched around 300m in 16.54 when winning a Grade 5 at Healesville last start. Should be in this for a long way.

Good effort to score just four days ago over 515m at Sandown by 4 lengths in a Grade 5 H. Has never missed the frame from three starts out of this box. Major player.
