Forecasts

Gallimimus (11/10), Graham (6/4), Afloat (4/1), Quizlet (25/1)

GALLIMIMUS lost his chance at the start last time but had looked highly progressive prior to that, so he makes most appeal on the assumption that he breaks a bit better this time. Graham is the main danger and Afloat is also a player.
