Chris Waller trained Waterford after an unlucky last start second in the Scone Cup and is the $4 into $3.70 TAB favourite for Saturday with Josh Parr aboard.
Williamsburg saddled up by Gerald Ryan & Sterling Alexiou for jockey Zac Lloyd is the $4.60 TAB second favourite (firming from $6) ahead of Sir Lucan ($5.50) trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott and to be ridden by Winona Costin, making her return to Sydney Saturday racing.
The Annabel Neasham-trained Sibaaq is next at $7 for jockey Kerrin McEvoy.
