Forecasts

Fiery Cliffs (4/7), Fire Chaser (9/2), Afrodite (15/2), Forty Hot (8/1), Ghalaati (11/1), Sundrop (22/1), Minstrel Gallery (22/1), Royal Venus (22/1), The Little Girl (40/1), Good Reason (50/1), Kungfoo Lightning (66/1)

FIRE CHASER is selected tentatively but has little leeway if anything goes wrong. Forty Hot could provide the sternest threat, while Good Reason also requires scrutiny.
