One for the stayers. FIOPROSPERO (3) has hit the frame at his past three Sydney outings and should find this assignment a touch easier. Is two from two around this circuit and maps perfectly for Maloney from gate two. Sure to be right there when the whips are cracking. BITOFTHEBLARNEY (9) is in a rich vein of form with a win and two seconds from his past three starts and should be ready for the 2400m journey now. Looms as the main danger. THE IRISH (7) absolutely smashed them at Doomben at the latest effort and will have derived a stack of confidence from that dominant four length victory. Top-three commodity on that sort of form. BENGAL BOY (5) has been thereabouts of late and must be respected from the Lees barn. Don't underestimate. CELESTIAL FURY (10) best of the rest with the 1.5kg claim.
