Paw Octavia will appreciate the drop in class after defying her long price to finish fourth in the Group 1 Sapphire Crown Final last start.
Two starts back the Fernando Bale bitch stormed home to win her heat of that series in 29.61 seconds over 515m here.
The rise in distance is ideal given she’s won four of eight starts over this course and distance.
The vacant boxes to either side of her are a positive.
Here Comes Jojo returns to Sandown on the back of a win at The Meadows over 525m last start.
The daughter of Aston Rupee was electric over this course and distance three starts ago when winning by 5.5 lengths in a slick 29.24 seconds.
She’s never started from box 8 but has the early speed to cross and find the front.
Pass Mark returned from a break in fine style when winning his Group 1 Sandown Cup heat last week.
The Jeff Britton-trained dog was awesome leading all the way for a six-length win in 41.59 seconds.
He’s a classy stayer having finished a close second in the Group 1 Fanta Bale Stayers Final in February.
He’s a jet early and can cross from the outside box.
Panama Rhode has been sublime in her past two starts.
The Superior Panama bitch produced a scintillating 33.96 seconds over this course and distance when taking it on for the first time two starts ago.
She backed that up last start when winning over 600m at The Meadows in a best of the night 35 seconds neat.
The small field suits and she should be able to cross and get on the arm.
