Forecasts

Bashosh (10/3), Wild Lion (4/1), Seyouff (9/2), Street Mood (5/1), Down On Da Bayou (13/2), Western Symphony (17/2), Ajuste Fiscal (10/1), Laasudood (12/1), Honiton (12/1), Kafoo (16/1), Echo Point (20/1), Marshall Plan (20/1), Imperial Empire (20/1), Pitcher's Point (22/1), Tranquil Night (22/1), Tenbury Wells (25/1)

DOWN ON DA BAYOU is the tentative selection in a very tricky handicap. Street Mood held his form well last season and should find the return to this grade easier. Seyouff is unexposed and open to any amount of improvement stepping into handicaps.
