Expecting a strong tempo from the youngsters. NORTH ENGLAND (1) tough colt plagued by bad barriers at his last two outings. Will find this more to his liking after covering ground on the fast pace when a tiring sixth over 1200m in the G1 Golden Slipper at Rosehill. Gets the gun run today and looks hard to hold out. KING OF POP (2) smashed the clock when scoring a gritty win in the G3 Black Opal over 1200m at Canberra two back. Tough effort under the circumstances from the outside draw when twelfth over 1200m in the G1 Golden Slipper. Can stalk the speed today and return to winning form. STRADA VARENNA (9) up sharply in class at her second start when a fading fourth over 1200m in the G3 Magic Night Stakes at Rosehill. Will go forward again and give a ton of cheek. ALABAMA MAGIC (10) holding her form in this company and capable of taking a hand in the finish. BESKAR (6) resumes after scoring a good debut win over 1121m at Geelong last December. Fitted with a jump out and Randwick trial. Must be kept safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: North England and King Of Pop to fight it out.
