Solid tempo with Cinchona leading from Aloha Blue and Astromancer. WALLY WEST (2) has frustrated punters throughout his career but there's little doubting he has more ability than his record suggests. All depends on which Wally turns up. Giving him one more chance. TARA RANI (4) has returned in good order with two strong efforts at Oakbank. Nearing peak now and is drawn to get all the favours. The logical play. SUMAMBISTARR (3) was a barnstorming winner two back at Clare when coming from a long way back. Went close to making it two on the trot last start. Going well and should be competitive. MIDNIGHT HARRY (1) makes his stable debut for the in-form Bain & Taylor partnership who have a great knack of getting horses back to their best. Take seriously if the market sides with him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Giving Wally West one more chance.
