Forecasts

Wiccan Warrior (5/2), Camora (10/3), Aj's Captain (5/1), Artic Tune (6/1), Ibutho (8/1), Cherokee Trail (10/1), Captain Who (10/1), Bend The Rules (10/1), Knight Warrior (12/1), Rodriguez (14/1), Grimaldi (16/1)

BEND THE RULES wasn't long out of form and has chief claims. Artic Tune will seemingly provide most resistance, while Captain Who also requires a second look.
