Forecasts

Meu Capitano (7/4), Questioning (5/2), Jerusalema Rain (4/1), Bereave (13/2), Mufasa (8/1), Rio Querari (11/1), We're Jamming (14/1), Marigold Hotel (18/1), Zoomie (28/1), Silver Falcon (28/1), Captain Fontane (33/1), Speed Machine (40/1)

MEU CAPITANO looks to have marginally the best chance in an open race. Jerusalema Rain can also play a leading role, while Questioning can't be ruled out of things either.
