3:45am - RON FINEMORE TRANSPORT HANDICAP | 2400m | | i

A mixed group of stayers over a testing 2400m, you will need horse with stamina here, but not many are proven at the distance. Tempo from EPSOM HILL, RICHARD OF YORKE and NORTHERN JOURNEY should make sure it's around FAIR to STEADY. One horse you know will get the distance is RICHARD OF YORKE after running a brave 2nd over 3200m two weeks ago. He did finish alongside DANJEU the start before over 2400m though, both in the mix here again. Bjorn Baker's COLLATERAL is flying and will be very hard to beat if he can stay 2400m after lifting late to win over 1800m last week. Melbourne raider NORTHERN JOURNEY and swooper QUARTERMASTER both seem suited over 2400m in the wet, they're the knock-out chances. [updated 8:27am]
