Forecasts

Tagabawa (5/4), Glorious Lion (7/4), Roost (4/1), Waipiro (12/1), Galilaeus (16/1), Demilion (25/1), Mr Mistoffelees (28/1), Alex The Great (28/1), Leitrim Rock (50/1), Loughville (200/1), Puzzletown (250/1)

TAGABAWA is bred to be smart and represents a top trainer who should have him well prepared, so he takes preference over Glorious Lion and Roost, who both showed something to work on first time out but don't set the bar very high.
