NORTH ENGLAND (1) is a talented colt who was well held last time out in the tougher Golden Slipper won by Marhoona over 1200m at Rosehill, beaten 4 lengths into sixth. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Leading contender. KING OF POP (2) finished 12th over 1200m in the G1 Golden Slipper at Rosehill last time out following a determined win two back. Should be poised just off the lead. Best form puts him right in this. ALEPPO PINE (3) hasn't raced since finishing seventh in the G2 Todman Stakes at this track over 1200m four weeks ago. Kept ticking over with a recent trial at Hawkesbury. Among the chances and expected to feature. STRADA VARENNA (9) showed good early dash and led for most of the way before fading to finish 2.5 lengths away in fourth over 1200m in the G3 Magic Night Stakes at Rosehill. Can sneak into the finish.
