BLUE AS BLUE (7) is in a leading Sydney barn, bringing strong provincial form to peak. Was beaten 2.4L at Gosford 11 days ago jumping to this distance range and will race forward again from an inside stall. Still a Maiden but is sure to take beating. Ditto DIVAZINO (8) who is also in strong Sydney hands and will be better for the two runs this preparation both over a mile. Was spelled off a Gosford placing over 1m1 1/2f bet into even money so is right up to this. Feared. JIMMY NAILS (2) flies the local flag and has been threatening. May need to find a touch more but it's hard to risk the Dryden barn at home and Heywood's booking is a plus. LITTLE OUTLAW (3) scored at Bathurst over 1m2f when well supported and looks next best.
