Forecasts

Sir Robin (15/8), Panama City (3/1), Close Quarters (7/2), Cotai West (6/1), Cotai Class (11/1), Alfred Cove (16/1), Armo (25/1), Madame Helen (40/1), Agonyclite (50/1), Menelaus (80/1)

SIR ROBIN showed plenty to work on when runner-up over 7f here 11 days ago, and with improvement forthcoming, he looks the way to go for a yard in superb form. Panama City is second choice, with Close Quarter a likely improver.
