A fit Formality tops the opening markets on Wednesday's Group III Blue Sapphire Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield.
Formality will go into the $350,000 race with three Sydney runs under her belt and bookmakers have posted her as the Blue Sapphire favourite at prices between $3.60 and $4.
The Lindsay Park-trained filly just holds favouritism ahead of the Danehill Stakes runner-up Jukebox, who returns to racing on his home track after suffering his first defeat at Flemington last time out.
Bookies have posted Jukebox at quotes between $3.80 and $4 while another Caulfield-trained filly, the unbeaten Crown Witness is next in betting ahead of I Did It Again.
Below is a comparison of early markets on the Blue Sapphire Stakes.
