Forecasts

Kratos (8/15), As If By Chance (7/2), Seeking Perfection (9/2), Mollys Brother (18/1), Odd Socks Havana (66/1)

AS IF BY CHANCE has the best form with potentially more to come, so he's marginally preferred to Kratos, who is forced to concede a penalty for his C&D success 77 days ago. Seeking Perfection is the only other feasible player.
