Forecasts

Longsword (3/1), Sabre Strike (4/1), Warhawk Bomber (5/1), Presley (15/2), Salute The Flag (8/1), Command Pilot (9/1), Two Miles West (10/1), Master Christmas (14/1), Platina Princess (22/1), Emporium (28/1), Max The Magician (33/1), That's My Baby (33/1)

SABRE STRIKE should be in the mix but has little room for error. Platina Princess looks second best, while Longsword can't be ruled out of things either.
