The Coolmore will see the Australian return of the champion New Zealand mare Sunline, while perennial Sydney star Tie the Knot will be the one to beat in the Ranvet. Also in the Ranvet, Justin Sheehan will be reunited with Universal Prince for the first time since that Mackinnon Stakes from the Spring.

Golden Slipper markets will also be shaped by the running of the first two races at Rosehill. Blue Diamond runner-up Brief Embrace will have her first start in Sydney in the Reisling Slipper Trial where she will clash with the John Hawkes trained Smash and the Clarry Conners filly Kidman.

A small field is also set to line up in the Todman Slipper Trial for the colts and geldings. The Gai Waterhouse trained Snowland looks set to start the favourite in then 1200 metre race. John Hawkes has accepted with three runners in the Todman - Yell, Takas and Minority.
