NORTH AMERICA has had a brilliant career here winning seven of his dozen starts on the Dirt track including a Group 1 in 2018 and this race last year by nine lengths on his reappearance. He was beaten in this by Heavy Metal in 2018 but has done much better than that rival subsequently though the latter does have the benefit of a recent run. Muntazah was beaten 11 lengths in this last year but that was nothing like his form as he showed when subsequently landing two Group 3's before a fair run in the Group 2 Godolphin Mile. He's drawn inside the selection and a quick break would make this very interesting. Kimbear, runner-up a year ago, was also 8 lengths behind Muntazah on his next start and looks held though he's closely matched with Secret Ambition, who beat him a length in a Listed contest last month with Rodaini close up in third and Thegreatcollection fifth. Team Talk finished last a year ago and has never won here
