Forecasts

What A Thrill (9/4), Upper Ten (11/4), Bold Strike (4/1), Therecanbeonlyone (11/2), Ghalyoon (6/1), Imperious Duke (7/1), City Dancer (8/1), Market Day (16/1), Dai Ichi (25/1), Optimum (40/1)

UPPER TEN continues to operate somewhere near current peak and is just about the pick in this field. What A Thrill is most likely the main danger, while Bold Strike also commands consideration.
