Forecasts

Nation's History (3/1), Rare Ninja (10/3), Nibraas (10/3), Meshakel (13/2), Yurman (7/1), Emblem War (9/1), Jallab (14/1), Uncle Hamed (14/1), Mayehaab (14/1), Effectif (22/1), Endifaa (25/1), Anbar (25/1), Murban (33/1), Al Baqar (33/1)

RARE NINJA is up to taking this with a bit in hand and is the one they all have to beat. Nibraas seems the most likely to pounce if the selection fails to deliver, while Meshakel could also figure.
