Forecasts

Regulation (5/2), Zeitz (11/4), La Pulga (9/2), I Salute You (7/1), Jp's Palace (10/1), Field Marshal (11/1), Imilenzeyokududuma (14/1), Holding Thumbs (14/1), Winter Games (25/1), Madison Valley (28/1), Down By The River (40/1)

WINTER GAMES quickly put a below-par run aside last time and has sound claims. Down By The River should be involved at the business end too, while Jp's Palace demands respect as well.
