REGAL TYCOON (6) broke her maiden last start over 1000m at Pakenham when resuming, scoring by a neck. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Jamie Mott was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. Progressing well so worth following up. TARTAN BELLE (8) turned in a eye-catching run last start over 1100m at Bendigo, winding up hard from well back on straightening to finish a close third. Among the top chances. STRAPPARSI (2) started at $6 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 3 lengths at Pakenham over 1000m. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. HOT PURSUIT (7) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on 4/09/2024, finishing eighth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1400m at Sandown-Hillside. Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts two wins and one placing. Definite top-three chance.
