The Golden Rose picture continues to become clearer with the final Order Of Entry before Saturday's Group 1 feature released on Monday morning.

The ATC released their final Order Of Entry for the Golden Rose on Monday where Aussies Love Sport was a notable improver up the list courtesy of winning the Group 3 Ming Dynasty Quality at Randwick last Saturday.

Now 15th on the Order Of Entry, Aussie's Love Sport will be part of a sizeable Golden Rose team from the Gai Waterhouse stable which also includes Up And Coming Stakes winner War (29th), Pitcrew (23rd) and Bull Point (26th).

Tommy Berry will take the ride on the Coolmore-raced colt War.

Sidestep (3rd) is expected to be Peter Snowden's lone Golden Rose runner with stablemates Guelph (2nd), Safeguard (9th) and Long John (10th) all pursuing other goals.

Prince Harada holds favouritism for the event with connections paying the late entry for their promising colt while Zoustar, Fast 'n' Rocking plus the Anthony Cummings-trained duo of Cluster and Drago are also quoted at single figure odds.

Peter Robl will stay aboard Drago after he ran second on resuming in the Up And Coming Stakes while James McDonald partners Cluster.

Other early engagements include Jim Cassidy on Zoustar while the Peter Moody-trained duo of Dissident and Thermal Current are set to be partnered by Tim Clark and Brad Rawiller respectively.
