Forecasts

Marauding Horde (13/8), Atarime (4/1), Safe Passage (9/2), Thunee Playa (7/1), Indian Ocean (9/1), Good Council (10/1), Meridius (14/1), Juliet Tango (20/1), Crimson King (22/1), Shoemaker (25/1), Aragosta (28/1), Jordan (33/1), Second Base (40/1), Red Maple (80/1)

INDIAN OCEAN should give a good account but this is an open race. Good Council is most likely the chief danger, while Crimson King could also figure.
