Forecasts

Blazing Astute (3/1), Que For You (10/3), Name Of The Game (5/1), Iron Chef (5/1), Malcolm's Dream (6/1), Duquesne Whistle (9/1), Winter Melody (10/1), Bell Jar (12/1), Siege Of Orleans (12/1), Just Virginia (16/1), Masters Beauty (18/1), Roy's T's (25/1)

NAME OF THE GAME continues to operate somewhere near current best and sets the bar. Blazing Astute is tough to ignore if looking elsewhere, while Que For You looks best of the remainder.
