A tough finale to solve and CONQUISTO is given the vote where a whole host of dangers could be cited, among them Show Winner, Redesignation and Eglevski. The selection raced rather keenly at Beverley last time and a combination of that and the very deep ground conditions meant he had little to offer when battle commenced up the demanding hill at that venue. Show Winner has been a victim of his own consistency and continues to climb the weights despite not getting his head in front. Eglevski is exposed but continues to run consistently and has recieved some leniency from the assessor. The headgear remains intact where he is concerned while Redesignation is lightly raced and gradually improving. He looks the biggest danger to our selection which is Conquisto.
