Forecasts

Alkaraama (11/4), Meshakel (10/3), My Dubawi (7/2), Upper Class (9/2), Royal Commando (13/2), Story Of Light (12/1), Ayaad (20/1), Davy Lamp (25/1), Major Cinnamon (28/1)

UPPER CLASS is running well enough to take this. Meshakel could have the most to offer of the others, while Royal Commando is worth consideration to round out the 1-2-3.
