Forecasts

Mississippi River (5/4), Omni Man (10/3), Diego El Queso (4/1), Zahrann (5/1), Brandon Creek (10/1), Faro Island (14/1), Cinammon Coco (14/1), Beat The Devil (50/1), Rubadub Dubh (80/1), Sonic Invader (150/1), Paint The Moon (150/1), Bungle Lichious (200/1), Radial Symmetry (200/1), Highway Sixty One (400/1)

MISSISSIPPI RIVER looks a stable lesser light but he's progressing gradually and is more than capable of winning one of these. Omni Man and Diego el Queso both offered something to work on starting out, while well-connected newcomer Zahrann needs keeping an eye on.
