Forecasts

Sunset Warrior (9/4), Longsword (9/2), Bay Empire (5/1), Bloomington (11/2), Kambati (7/1), Southampton (7/1), Mattiazo (10/1), Michael Faraday (12/1), Single Combat (20/1), Commander Of All (25/1)

SUNSET WARRIOR took a huge step back in the right direction again last time and has principal claims. Bloomington is probably the main threat, while Michael Faraday commands a closer look as well.
