2020 SAPPHIRE STAKES – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Wide open affair to round out the day's proceedings with a host of leading chances in this year's Group 2 Sapphire Stakes. The large field should ensure a solid tempo.

SAVATIANO (3) wasn't beaten far in the Galaxy last start after racing on-speed. Much better suited back up to 1200m and rates very well off her first up win. Some query over whether she can maintain that form deeper into her campaigns, but is worth sticking with. JMac back aboard another push.

FASIKA (7) got caught on the wrong part of the track last start when closing off well late in the Galaxy. Much better placed here and looms as a major threat. I AM EXCITED (1) is weighted up to her best now, but is clearly flying, while MANICURE (9) also holds solid claims second up.
