Forecasts

Fushimi Inari (13/8), Battleground (2/1), Positive Attitude (5/2), Arlington Action (5/1), Banha Bridge (7/1), Royal Mazarin (14/1), Secret Is Ours (40/1)

FUSHIMI INARI is hard to oppose if not caught out by this different trip. Positive Attitude is most likely the main threat, while Banha Bridge can make the first three as well.
