Forecasts

Bitter Wind (2/1), Dark Travel (4/1), Miracle And Wonder (11/2), Tiki Taka (9/1), Pomelo (9/1), Dark Vision (10/1), Officer (10/1), Kapama (12/1), Bedouin Bride (12/1), Rose Willow (22/1), Riccardo (28/1), Make A Penny (40/1)

DARK TRAVEL is the tentative selection. Bitter Wind is probably the chief threat, although Miracle And Wonder commands respect as well.
