A strong gallop is likely with Son Of Grace and Western Conqueror taking up the running from Gunboat. ASAWIN (1) showed more like his best narrowly beaten at Stawell. Will be fitter again and maps for a soft run. Briefly freshened and is ready to win. WESTERN CONQUEROR (2) is a leader who spaced the Mildura Maidens when last seen heavily bet. Further matured and is sure to give a sight. GUNBOAT (3) has disappointed twice since the Maiden win at Bendigo when he led. He's on a quick backup and notably, Damian Lane sticks aboard. A much-improved effort is likely. TEA MASTER (5) only succumbed late at Benalla showing more like his best. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Asawin.
