Forecasts

Haasim (4/1), Arabic Art (4/1), Falcon Of Arabia (5/1), Mawthog (5/1), Al Arbed (6/1), Indicate (9/1), Morghom (16/1), Silent Defense (18/1), Warsong (20/1), Raiz Latina (22/1), Honest Desire (33/1), Thunder D'Oro (33/1), Iron Forge (33/1), Sioux Dream (50/1), Mijbil (66/1)

HAASIM continues to operate somewhere near current peak and seems likely to take the beating. Falcon Of Arabia could provide the main threat, while the unexposed Arabic Art also has claims.
