Forecasts

King Pelles (5/2), Shoot The Rapids (11/4), Ahead Of The Facts (4/1), Future Swing (15/2), Holding Thumbs (8/1), Nebraas (14/1), Bombers In The Sky (16/1), Mo Ment (18/1), To The Rescue (18/1), Arverni King (28/1), Coffeeberry (66/1), Basie Raakvat (66/1), Positive Attitude (66/1)

TO THE RESCUE has a fair chance. Future Swing is dangerous, while Arverni King demands respect as well.
