Blue Sapphire Stakes 2024 Preview

Track: Good 4 Weather: Cloudy

Coleman has been hard to catch this prep but best efforts are right up to these. Pisces has come back super this prep and drawn well from the barrier. Goes in the mix. Catoggio has been consistent this prep and looks well placed to be in the finish while Manos maps for a good run and shouldn’t be too far away. Finds a suitable field.

2024 Blue Sapphire Stakes Runner by Runner

1. Coleman (3)

Hard to catch this prep but deserves a win and has a touch of class. Should be in the finish.

2. Rue De Royale (4)

Needs to lift on current form but has the ability when on song. Goes close from the kind draw.

3. Pisces (2)

Big return run and J-Mac engaged to do the steering. This race is well within reach. Hard to beat.

4. Catoggio (1)

Going well this prep with two wins from three goes. Brings in winning form and should be respected.

5. Manos (5)

Almost made it back to back wins and it was a good effort last time out. Warrants thought in this.

6. Cavity Bay (6)

Consistent this prep but finds a harder race here. Keep an eye on the market.

7. I Am Velvet (7)

Still doing things wrong but comes into this with decent claims. Has ability but will need to lift on form.

8. Runway Ruler (8)

Can’t have.
