Moderate tempo with Texture leading the way. TEXTURE (9) went close at Ballarat on debut and then won a Flemington jumpout before improving his numbers, beaten 3L at Sale. He's been freshened and kept up to the mark with another Flemington jumpout. Has the tongue tie on for the first time, and that may be the key. SO REGAL (12) is dead-set honest and just missed in the country last time. She may push forward from the awkward gate today and can feature if that's achieved economically. GRAN PARADISO (6) didn't do a lot at Seymour on debut, but his recent win in a Geelong jumpout suggests he's going to return much improved. Hurdle sticks from that and will give him every chance from an inside gate. ANALYTICAL (1) resumed over this distance and needed the outing. He maps well enough and has pieces of form that would see him right in the finish. Quick improvement is anticipated. PRINCE MAGNETITE (3) is an improver from the Hawkes yard who should be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Texture.
