Forecasts

Quasimodo (3/1), Light Without (7/2), Almighwaar (5/1), Silvia Louise (5/1), Osceola (15/2), Basetsana (17/2), Humble Tune (9/1), Tozzetti (10/1), Bold Strike (16/1), Global Gunner (22/1), Essos (28/1), Lord Marmite (33/1), Displace Time (40/1)

ALMIGHWAAR's overall form just gives him the edge but the race is very open. Silvia Louise is chief among the dangers, while Quasimodo commands respect as well.
