Forecasts

Siberian Steel (11/8), Joker Man (9/2), Fulliautomatix (5/1), Dreamland (11/2), Articuno (13/2), Cityscape (8/1), Longsword (12/1), Inventrix (16/1), Calida (20/1), John Wick (20/1), Palace Revolt (22/1), Stormy Seas (28/1)

SIBERIAN STEEL has run several good races recently and will probably take the beating. Joker Man is the pick of the remainder, while Fulliautomatix can scrap it out for third.
