CANYA SAPPHIRE (1) has a strong record this track and trip including three wins from four starts. Below best last time at Dubbo (30.13) in a NG, finishing a 6 length fourth. Looks suited and should go close. DESPICABLE WILMA (2) was unfancied latest when jumping from this same draw but belied the odds to place (17.83) over 324m at Richmond Straight in a NG. Rates a leading chance. CALLA OREO (3) did a good job to finish second last time out over 401m at this track (23.27) in a Grade 5, the second top-three finish on the trot. Can improve sharply here. NIKITA BANNER (6) showed great speed to lead all the way last start. Sure to figure prominently.
