Group 3 placegetter TESSA'S CHOICE (16) is a maiden galloper who finished in the placings over 5f in the G3 Ottawa Stakes at Flemington before going for a break 11 months ago. Filled a minor placing in a recent Cranbourne trial. Among the leading chances. REGAL TYCOON (9) showed good early speed last start on debut and fought on well to hold third, beaten half a length, over 5f at Mornington. Open to sharp improvement and can get off the mark this time. REINA ISABELLA (10) made a promising debut over 6f at Cranbourne last start, finishing second and beaten a long neck. Likely improver so another bold showing is expected. EYES WIDE SHUT (4) stepped out for her debut over 6½f at Swan Hill back on June 7 and finished eighth, beaten 2.75 lengths. Will be better for that run and is expected to go well.
