Forecasts

Rulership (1/2), Flowerbomb (17/2), Mover And Shaker (9/1), Alula's Star (12/1), Magic Tattoo (16/1), Esquevelle (18/1), Danilo Danilovitch (20/1), Karangetang (22/1), Full Velocity (33/1)

RULERSHIP has a small margin for error but can't afford for much to go wrong. Flowerbomb likely poses the biggest threat, while Mover And Shaker is perhaps the most interesting of the others.
