Forecasts

Party Time (11/8), Captain Fontane (9/4), Sikhulu (13/2), Spydas Corner (8/1), Gallic Chief (8/1), Pray For Rain (9/1), Naarah (14/1), Aqua Bolt (18/1), Ishnana (22/1), Solid Gold (28/1)

CAPTAIN FONTANE couldn't justify market support last time out, but is worth giving another chance. Naarah is most likely the leading challenger, while Sikhulu comes into calculations for third place.
