Forecasts

Bad Medicine (13/8), Casus Belli (15/8), Santiago's Pride (7/2), The Merciful (13/2), Lightinthestorm (9/1), Alakanani (25/1), Ragamuffin (40/1), Captain Snowball (40/1), Stop The Traffic (66/1), Cuban Pete (100/1)

BAD MEDICINE was the beaten market pick last time out, but still makes most appeal again. Casus Belli is a threat, while Santiago's Pride can make the first three as well.
