Forecasts

Guerilla Warfare (3/1), Peregrine Falcon (9/2), Mocha Frappe (5/1), War Reporter (11/2), Unsolved Riddle (7/1), Chieftain's Shield (8/1), American Beauty (17/2), Deception Pass (9/1), Frangipani (10/1), Pretty Analia (50/1)

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