Forecasts

Strewn Sky (5/4), Mount Darwin (11/4), Copper Mist (7/2), Kudzu (6/1), Guardia Regine (9/1), Fushimi Inari (10/1), Breath Of Magic (16/1), Ultimissimo (40/1)

STREWN SKY appears to have just enough in hand to take this but can't afford to put a foot wrong. Fushimi Inari is the most realistic second preference, while Guardia Regine comes into calculations for third place.
