Forecasts

Peace Treaty (10/11), Princeofgreen (10/3), Orange County (9/2), Guerilla Warfare (7/1), Whispers Of War (7/1), On Target (17/2), Weather Wizard (33/1), Bloomington (33/1), Copper John (66/1)

GUERILLA WARFARE is difficult to oppose on what he has shown and looks to have been let in lightly. Peace Treaty can also play a major part, while Whispers Of War heads up those chasing third place.
