Forecasts

Excellent Believe (5/4), Warrior Mode (5/2), Arizona Rock (4/1), The Sweet Escape (15/2), Frostmagic (10/1), Juno Star (12/1), Razzo Italiano (200/1), Iflookscouldkill (250/1)

ARIZONA ROCK gets the vote but Excellent Believe, The Sweet Escape and Warrior Mode are newcomers who make appeal on paper and could pose big threats if the betting speaks for them.
