Verdict

TELLEZ (5) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 6 ½f at Darwin. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. TEXTURE (4) is in top form this campaign, including a head win over this journey at Darwin last time. Rates well and among the chances again. CONVINCEBILITY (2) held on well to finish second last time out over 6f at Darwin after leading for much of the way. Solid run last start and is among the chances again. VERBOSITY (3) was safely held when fifth last start over 5 ½f at Katherine after a good first-up win at Darwin. Worth plenty of thought. ROEY CLAM (6) was better last time out at Broome and has to be included on the back of that performance.
