Forecasts

Un Deux Trois (9/4), Aryaam (7/2), Last Cheer (5/1), Traveling Wilbury (6/1), Keepingthepeace (9/1), Franklin (9/1), Illuminate (10/1), Anatura (20/1), Astral Plane (22/1), Jive Express (25/1), Zazu (25/1), Nabeela (40/1)

LAST CHEER is operating at a good level lately and has fair claims. Keepingthepeace is probably the main danger, while Aryaam can make the first three as well.
