Forecasts

Unsolved Riddle (3/1), Peregrine Falcon (4/1), Frangipani (9/2), Mocha Frappe (7/1), Guerilla Warfare (8/1), American Beauty (10/1), War Reporter (12/1), Chieftain's Shield (14/1), Deception Pass (16/1), Pretty Analia (20/1)

FRANGIPANI has fair claims. Pretty Analia could be a big danger, while Deception Pass is one to bear in mind as well.
