Forecasts

Waqaas (15/8), Leeson (3/1), Wondering Star (10/3), Bloomington (5/1), Banha Bridge (8/1), Orgetorix (11/1), Track Commander (12/1), Timbavati River (12/1), Just A Memory (14/1), Southern Blaze (14/1), Theroseofbecharre (14/1), Evening Rise (20/1), Orus Apollo (33/1), Khiza (33/1), Twice As Special (33/1), Absolute Value (33/1)

BLOOMINGTON headed the market on his latest run, but gets the vote again. Wondering Star is probably the toughest threat, while Just A Memory also needs a second look.
