Forecasts

Bright Green (3/1), Hammies Hero (10/3), Gladatorian (7/2), Piroshka (13/2), Trivial Matter (7/1), Lunarcam (15/2), Ragnar Lothbrok (11/1), Rock On Tommy (14/1), Wylie Jack (22/1), Silver Salmon (25/1)

GLADATORIAN took a huge step forward last time and should make a bold show. Bright Green could provide the sternest threat, while Piroshka should go well too.
