Forecasts

Leeson (10/11), Dj Junior (2/1), Chariot Master (11/4), Free Wylie (4/1), Parker Getrix (17/2), Dark Horse (20/1), Big Guy (22/1), Real Churchy (28/1), Thornton Creek (50/1)

DJ JUNIOR is the tentative selection but others can't be discounted in an open contest. Leeson is the obvious danger, while Free Wylie edges it for third.
