Forecasts

Tonal (6/5), Night Arc (13/2), Light Up Our Stars (15/2), Boujee Gold (8/1), Venetian (9/1), Miss Dandylion (14/1), Northbound (16/1), Back From Dubai (20/1), Kessaar Power (20/1), Vecchio (25/1), Treasure Bay (33/1), First Greyed (66/1)

LIGHT UP OUR STARS took a step back in the right direction here a fortnight ago and is well treated if building on that. Boujee Gold and Kessaar Power are chief among the dangers.
