Forecasts

Coast Sky (10/3), Zaammit (5/1), Untold Secret (15/2), Chief Scribe (8/1), Nopoli (9/1), The Magical Mccool (9/1), Fall Of Rome (10/1), Mouser (10/1), Lost Gold (10/1), City King (12/1), Kaifan (16/1), Jazirat (20/1), Alnadir (20/1)

A weak handicap with the tentative vote going to COAST SKY, who represents top connections. Fall of Rome may be next best, while Lost Gold can't be ruled out either.
