Forecasts

Daimyo (13/8), Holding Thumbs (5/2), Love Is A Rose (11/2), Mucho Dinero (9/1), Navy Strength (16/1), King Pelles (20/1), Han Solo (20/1), Prevalence (22/1), Vihaan's Bomb (22/1), Future Pearl (22/1), Nebraas (40/1)

LOVE IS A ROSE's overall form just gives her the edge but she has next to no margin for error. Daimyo is the obvious danger, while Holding Thumbs is prominent among those with minor place claims.
