Forecasts

Masterbling (15/8), All The Time (9/4), Joshua Hotsnake (7/2), Iron Will (13/2), Political Party (11/1), Lazy Guy (16/1), Prosper's Gift (16/1), Mount Meru (20/1), Crested Eagle (25/1)

JOSHUA HOTSNAKE headed the market last time out, but still makes most appeal of these. Iron Will seems the primary danger, while Masterbling is another to take into acount.
