Forecasts

Dark Silver (2/1), Corvair (2/1), Dark Of Night (4/1), Shamikh (9/1), Madame Ellingtina (12/1), Alkhat (14/1), Midnight Deal (18/1), Morrabbi Al Ajjial (100/1), My War (100/1)

DARK SILVER has been in good form of late and comes with less question marks than his main-rival Corvair, though that one should still be capable of placing if handling dirt. Dark Of Night edges it as the selection for third.
