Without a great deal of early pace evident Western Conqueror may lead the way over Artistic Gal. WESTERN CONQUEROR (10) brings irresistible formlines to what is the easiest race he has contested in his career. Should get every chance to break through from the good gate with top rider above. WITHIN SIGHT (9) made an encouraging return and can trouble Western Conqueror with the right run. HIGHLAND MAGIC (6) is a first-starter who has jumped out well enough to be a place chance here. NORWEGIAN SPIRIT (1) has had a few chances but could sneak a place. CALL ME RHONDA (11) is another debutant who has shown encouraging signs at the jumpouts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Western Conqueror can strike today.
