Forecasts

Steinbeck (9/5), Alingalonga (11/4), Moon Game (4/1), Secret Is Ours (9/2), Last Storm (5/1), Central City (7/1), You Know Who (8/1), Forest Spy (10/1), Silver Tycoon (12/1), Fire Lord (20/1), Paris Rix (28/1)

MOON GAME is operating at a solid level lately and just about sets the standard. Secret Is Ours seems the principal threat, while Last Storm can't be ruled out of things either.
