Forecasts

Hotarubi (1/1), Greeting My Master (11/4), Jordan (8/1), Mastership (10/1), Presley (16/1), Jury's Out (18/1), La Moohal (22/1), Emporium (25/1), Donna Mo (28/1), Officer In Command (28/1), Biofarmer (40/1), Eiffel Tower (66/1), Claw (100/1)

HOTARUBI's overall form just gives him the edge but it's open. Presley could be the sternest opposition, while Donna Mo also has claims.
