Forecasts

Fire Lord (3/1), Final Destiny (4/1), Parktown (11/2), Rodriguez (11/2), Preemptive Strike (11/2), Caesura (7/1), Admiral Birnham (7/1), Ntabazondi (11/1)

PREEMPTIVE STRIKE is selected rather gingerly but it's competitive stuff. Caesura is another who should take a hand, while Rodriguez also requires a closer look.
