Forecasts

Jimmy Don (9/4), Electric Gold (11/4), Puerto Manzano (5/1), Rule By Force (5/1), Pyromaniac (11/2), Whafeef (10/1), Laguna Verde (12/1), Indlamu (14/1), Another Level (28/1)

PYROMANIAC was unable to cheer backers last time, but still makes most appeal of these. Indlamu is probably the chief threat, while Laguna Verde has place prospects as well.
