There's a field of 12 runners in the Sydney feature spring staying handicap with a third of the acceptances at odds of between $5.50 and $6.50.

The opening final field market has the Chris Waller-trained Libran, the winner of the Group III Kingston Town Stakes, a best-priced favourite at $5.50 and his stablemates Antonio Giuseppe and Life Less Ordinary share the second line of betting at $6.

The other runner in single figure odds is Darren Weir's Sydney Cup placegetter Big Duke at $6.50.
