Forecasts

Neo Smart (5/4), Do It With Style (3/1), Elliptical (7/1), Mary The Priest (9/1), Ocean Baroque (12/1), Uncle Albert (12/1), Port Louis (14/1), Givemethebeatboys (16/1), Pretence (22/1), Goldrush Kid (80/1)

Verdict

NEO SMART was nailed late by a debutante of Donnacha O'Brien's here a fortnight ago and could be hard to beat with improvement on the way over this longer trip. Do It With Style, also hailing from the Donnacha O'Brien yard, is an appealing newcomer, as is Elliptical.
