Forecasts

Polo Lounge (5/4), Westcoastinformant (3/1), Top Speed (10/3), Monrocher (6/1), Cool Survivor (6/1), Pharisees (8/1), Shanbally Kid (9/1), Pahlavi (10/1), Magheralin Mick (22/1), Mister Suntan (25/1), Bonjour Lady (25/1), Down Around (33/1), The Weasels Corner (33/1), Neev's Dream (50/1), Roman Bull (66/1), He's Some Boy (66/1), Great Island (80/1), Lobato (100/1), Tipp For Mac (125/1)

POLO LOUNGE has plenty to recommend him on paper and gets the marginal vote over Westcoastinformant, another interesting newcomer from a top stable. Top Speed, an easy point winner, could also make his presence felt.
