Forecasts

Apache Fighter (9/4), United Council (7/2), Crimson Princess (7/2), Opera Glass (8/1), Ballroom Bliss (8/1), Quiet Rebellion (9/1), Raratonga Rose (9/1), Flying First Class (18/1), Black Silver (22/1)

APACHE FIGHTER looks to have narrowly the best credentials but can't afford for much to go wrong. Crimson Princess could be the main threat, while United Council also requires a closer look.
