WESTERN CLOUDS has made a promising start to life over hurdles and remains open to further progress. She's taken to follow up her recent Perth success over this shorter trip with Final Straw, who looked badly in need of the experience when fourth on hurdles debut, the main threat if making the anticipated improvement. Of the rest, Soul Limbo needs to put an underwhelming effort behind him but would have a chance on previous form.
