Forecasts

Dowser (3/1), Alingalonga (3/1), Storm Commander (5/1), Pembroke (5/1), Globetonic (6/1), Metar (17/2), Unyielding (10/1), Light Without (10/1), Lady Tiptree (16/1), Sail The Sky (25/1)

LIGHT WITHOUT looks to have marginally the best chance but has next to no margin for error. Alingalonga makes most appeal of the rest, while Metar isn't out of it either.
