Wally Wonder can get the better of Protocol, Lone Soldier and Little Tobias in the final race on the card. Although only successful in selling company at Sedgefield on his latest start, it was the manner of Wally Wonder's victory that gives cause for encouragement here. He was driven out to beat his nearest opponent by seven lengths, and as this race is not much better, he should be capable of following up. Protocol has been round the block a few times and has won here in the past, but at the age of 11 is not one to put total faith in. Nevertheless, he was not beaten far here last time and should be in the shake-up again. Lone Soldier has gone off the boil of late and is perhaps best watched unless the market speaks in his favour, while Little Tobias looked booked for second when falling at the final flight on his last visit here in similar company. Not a great race to go out on, but Wally Wonder should go close.
