Forecasts

Universal (9/4), Rascallion (9/2), Pomp And Power (9/2), Do It Again (15/2), Nexus (12/1), Silvano's Timer (12/1), Warrior (14/1), Gem King (14/1), Future Prince (16/1), Winchester Mansion (18/1), Nebraas (20/1), Airways Law (22/1), Silver Host (40/1)

DO IT AGAIN looks the one to be with, but has little leeway if anything goes wrong. Nexus looks to have the best prospects of the others, while Nebraas has a place chance as well.
