Forecasts

Bereave (3/1), Safe Return (4/1), Captain Bombshell (9/2), Sun Dazed (6/1), Street Outlaw (7/1), Mufasa (9/1), Countdown (11/1), Barzalona (11/1), Irish Morning (12/1), Formagear (16/1), Tread Swiftly (18/1), Rockin' Ringo (25/1)

CAPTAIN BOMBSHELL just about appeals most but will need everything to fall right. Sun Dazed is the most realistic second preference, while Mufasa commands a second look as well.
