2022 SAPPHIRE STAKES – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Pandora Blue should find the front with Jump The Broom and Majestic Shot not far away. BELLUCI BABE (4) is in career best form and looks very well placed following her fourth placing in the TJ Smith Stakes last weekend. Has performed well on the back up previously and has drawn to get every chance for Clark. Rates clear and looks hard to beat.

BELLA NIPOTINA (2) caught the eye late in the Galaxy and should be right at her peak third up. McDonald a key booking and she has placed in 8/10 attempts over this trip. Hasn't done a lot of winning (3/26) but rarely runs a bad race. EMANATE (8) made light work of her rivals in the Birthday Card Stakes last start and while this is harder, if able to hold her form she is sure to be in the finish again. WANDABAA (5) is another who rates highly on best form, next best.
