10 EASTERN CITY [0.56/2.27]

This is the first real chance for the three year olds to show their staying ability. Square One, Superior Sateen, Baronial, Pasiphae and Eastern City look the main chances if it is a truly run race.

7 HALF HENNESSY [0.72/1.77]
8 GALANTE (NZ) [0.41/1.43]
9 VEGA SICILIA (NZ) [0.43/1.55]

It is hard to go past Lonhro again. Defier and Archave appear the likely dangers, with Half Hennessy likely to be short of a run.

18 DAME DU CIEL [0.64/2.11]
19 BRAINWORK (NZ) [0.56/1.56]

13 SCHAHRIAR [0.75/2.08]
14 RUN JUST RUN [0.77/2.67]
15 HALLS OF ASSEMBLY [0.71/2.69]

Archave or Inspire should be prominent, but Red Hannigan appeals as the one to beat.

12 LILLY O'REILLY (NZ) [0.70/2.08]
13 QUADRI [1.17/5.00]

The range of dosages in this race probably reflects a lack of depth in the Sydney staying ranks. Bulla Borghese might be the one, with a watch on Lilly O'Reilly.
