Forecasts

Colour Up (4/1), Mozahim (4/1), Bilhayl (5/1), Rawy (6/1), Leading Spirit (13/2), Democracy Dilemma (10/1), Ponntos (11/1), Road Bloc (11/1), Khuzaam (12/1), Morning (12/1), Kal Barg (20/1), Al Tariq (25/1), Story Of Light (28/1), Zawaaya (33/1), Al Shibli (40/1), Magic Petition (40/1), Mutamaasik (40/1)

RAWY gets the vote but will have no room for error in a competitive race. Colour Up seemingly poses the biggest danger, while Morning is another likely to be on the premises.
