Punters might be able to afford one of these if they back the winner of the Blue Sapphire.

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.
