Strong tempo from Eighteen Months, Sapphire Reign and Runaway Love. SAPPHIRE REIGN (11) should be peaking now after finishing second over 1000m at Bairnsdale last time at the third run of the campaign. Should camp just off the leaders and is among the leading chances. EIGHTEEN MONTHS (1) resumes from a spell of eight months. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1100m at Warrnambool. Placed in a recent trial. Has ability so don't underestimate. MOON DOG DOTTY (9) is a Nicconi filly on debut for the Chow camp. Has come along nicely in her jumpouts and is drawn well. Can make her presence felt. FLYING NIC (7) is another debutant that warrants a market watch. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sapphire Reign gets the nod.
