Encryption has been the best backed runner to take out the Blue Sapphire Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield on Wednesday.
The three year old feature has attracted just a field of six, but there is a bit quality at the top, headed by Blue Diamond winner Written By, who is the favourite at $1.70 but has drifted from $1.60 due to the support for James Cummings’ three year old, who was an impressive winner of the Danehill last time out and has trialled well since. He opened $5 and has firmed to $4.40.
The great unknown is Performer for Chris Waller, who is blessed with Group l talent but has faced wet tracks at his past few. He’s had interest though, into $9 from $11, with the rain hopefully staying away for his supporters.
