Forecasts

Prophet (2/1), Thunderstruck (7/2), Countdown (7/1), Cliff Top (15/2), Karangetang (8/1), Gladatorian (14/1), Imposing (14/1), Forest Spy (18/1), Now I Got You (22/1), Captain Bombshell (33/1), Ocean Time (40/1), Twin Strike (66/1)

THUNDERSTRUCK should be in the mix but hasn't much room for error. Prophet should be thereabouts too, while Karangetang is one to bear in mind too.
