FormscanBy Gary Carson - WA WA should be able to make use of a considerably lower mark over timber here. The Yeats gelding won his first couple of starts for Dermot McLoughlin and looked a nice staying chaser in the making. He disappointed when last seen at Killarney in May but still looks a good prospect for three-mile chases this season and this is a nice starting point for the year ahead. He has a mark of 90 over hurdles compared to his rating of 125 over fences. Natural Look has been running consistently and wouldn't be winning out of turn but may have the misfortune of running into a very well handicapped rival now. Western Dreaming was a game winner at Ballinrobe last time and could get in the money again.
