Forecasts

Warm Winter Nite (11/4), Purpleninjaturtle (7/2), Second Breath (9/2), Munchkin (5/1), Vegas Hi Rise (11/2), Houston (7/1), Phala Millions (12/1), Lulu's Boy (20/1), Spirited Girl (25/1), Global Thunder (33/1)

MUNCHKIN is holding his form well and will probably take the beating. Purpleninjaturtle could provide the chief threat, while Vegas Hi Rise edges it for third.
