Forecasts

Forever Bear (4/7), Tintamarre (5/1), Guerilla Warfare (7/1), Ombudsman (15/2), Lava Fire (8/1), Zip Code (10/1), Bay Empire (10/1), Potberrie (16/1)

GUERILLA WARFARE is probably the safest recommendation but can't afford for much to go wrong. Lava Fire looks to be playing for second, while Grey Jet commands respect as well.
