Forecasts

Great Affair (11/4), Chewbaca (3/1), The Kop (7/2), Rex Union (4/1), Electric Surge (9/1), Billy Bazooka (9/1), Twice Golden (9/1), Mystery Boy (9/1), Querari's Cowboy (14/1), A Whole New World (20/1), Space News (28/1), Extract (40/1)

CHEWBACA let his backers down last time, but looks the one to be on once again. The Kop is probably the biggest danger, while Querari's Cowboy also requires scrutiny.
