Forecasts

Down By The River (3/1), Jazz Festival (5/1), Mr Molony (6/1), Political Party (7/1), Shotgun Willie (7/1), Pongola (9/1), Silent Trigger (10/1), Connoisseur (12/1), Lazy Guy (14/1), Farland (16/1), Masterbling (18/1), Time Taker (18/1), Shoefella (20/1), Attaboy (22/1), Mount Meru (25/1), Mystique Rouge (33/1)

MR MOLONY couldn't justify market support on his most recent run but gets the nod again. Time Taker is a danger, while Political Party also demands consideration.
