Strong tempo with Sir Sublime, Angels Cry and Great Week going forward ahead of Sapphires Son and Lafilio. Tricky race with plenty of chances. SIR SUBLIME (9) returned to form with a sharp on pace victory over this trip at the Sapphire Coast. Gets map favours again and can keep the winning momentum going. MISS BARILOCHE (8) first run for the Bateup yard she surged late, with an eye-catching third over 1400m at the Sapphire Coast in stronger company. Strips much fitter now and looks one of the leading chances. SAPPHIRES SON (13) tough old gelding holding his form. Ready for the mile on the quick backup after finishing a gritty third over 1400m at Forbes. Genuine contender at the weights. ANGELS CRY (5) back in class and improved sharply when a game second over 1400m at Bathurst. Drawn out again and capable of getting cover early from the draw. Stays in the calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 9,8,13,5.
