Forecasts

Stratospheric (11/10), Trident King (3/1), Bloomington (5/1), Mo Jive (7/1), Southern Blaze (9/1), Sequoia (14/1), Lee Express (25/1), Earl (28/1), Youcanthurrylove (40/1), City By The Sea (40/1)

EARL should be bang there but has little leeway if anything goes wrong. Trident King is a viable alternative, while Sequoia commands respect as well.
