Caulfield Race 4 - Quayclean Blue Sapphire Stakes (G3)
Very tough. CAFFETTIERA (6) is on the quick backup from Cranbourne having tried hard over 1400m there, just no match for the winner in solid time. The win prior at Mornington was quite sharp and back to 1200m here can see her settle close to the speed and out tough them late. NAIFAH (5) comes through the best form having finished fifth in the G3 Red Roses last start at Flemington behind Point Barrow and Inkaruna, the latter of whom has won well since. The maiden win fresh was dominant and she'll get a soft trail from the inside gate. REGENERATION (2) was just edged out fresh, atoning with a soft win at Geelong at $1.30 last time. He'll need to improve again but profiles to do so. MOTORSPORTS (9) was too good on heavy ground last start and should be able to measure up again. CHERGUI (1) had some excuses last time. He's more exposed than most of these but does get Zahra.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 4th of 8 at Caulfield Heath 3yo F Bm64 on November 12 over 1100m, slow going 3 len behind Blaze Away with 61kg at $2.10. Before that favourite; won by 1.3 len at Ballarat 3yo Mdn-Sw October 24 over 1200m in soft going defeating Jessica Rabbit carrying 58kg at $1.75. Bit plain last time but prior form is competitive.

Recent form sound. Last start ran on from midfield; 2nd of 8 at Cranbourne 3yo Hcp on November 22 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Maldini with 54kg at $5. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.0 len at Mornington 3yo F Mdn-Sw November 2 over 1200m defeating Flower Fairy carrying 57kg at $3. On the quick turnaround here, should take beating.

Recent form sound. Most recently ran on from midfield and won by a nose at Ballarat Mdn-Sw November 20 over 1200m defeating Concord Connie with 56kg at $8. The start before that sat on the pace when 2nd of 9 at Cranbourne 3yo Mdn-Sw on October 31 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Lyrics 'N' Song with 56kg at $15. Can prove hard to hold out again.

At the latest run favourite; won by 4.5 len at Ararat Mdn-Sw November 9 over 1100m defeating Bundoran carrying 56kg at $1.80. Before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 11 at Horsham Mdn-Sw on October 19 over 1100m, 0.5 len behind Alzaro carrying 55kg at $3.20. Good win last time but this is a fair bit harder.
