Forecasts

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

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.
