Rock Pop looks to find the front at an even tempo. TESSA'S CHOICE (14) resumes having run very well on debut in the G3 Ottawa Stakes behind Eneeza, beaten 2.25 lengths. She's off a relatively long spell here but anything like that form would see her go close. ROCK POP (13) resumes. She ran well in a strong maiden on debut here before being beaten as a very short favourite at Geelong. Clearly has ability and must be greatly respected. AMAPOLA (9) is a filly by Zoustar on debut for the Danny O'Brien yard worth keeping safe. STOLEN ART (2) was good on debut and can figure. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tessa's Choice to win.
