Forecasts

Agoge (11/4), Carnelo (11/4), Peace Treaty (9/2), Unsolved Riddle (11/2), Express Yourself (6/1), Heavenly Good (10/1), Majalun (10/1), Prophet (14/1), That's Magical (50/1)

CARNELO is running very well right now as most recent effort shows and is a major player. Majalun could have the most to offer of the remainder, while Peace Treaty is another likely to be on the premises.
