Ciaron Maher has four runners: Light Infantry Man, Land Legend, Middle Earth and Saint George. Chris Waller has two, with Birdman and James McDonald’s mount Aeliana. Three-year-olds Warwoven and Blind Raise will carry just 49.5kg.
Aeliana was the favourite prior to the final field being confirmed but has now been joined by Sir Delius at $4.50.
