Forecasts

Endifaa (6/5), Fire Group (9/2), Rare Ninja (9/2), Panadol (6/1), Jallab (12/1), Faithful Soldier (14/1), Atlantic Sky (18/1), Waqet (22/1), Farfar (33/1), Anbar (40/1), Yestahell (50/1)

ENDIFAA took a big step forward last time and should go close. Newcomer Panadol is just about preferred for second, while Rare Ninja is the other candidate for the three.
