Forecasts

Parisian Walkway (7/4), Tamarisk Tree (5/2), Navajo Nation (4/1), Silent War (9/2), Key Element (6/1), Miss Scaletta (13/2), Arumugam (66/1)

MISS SCALETTA is just about best of these all things considered but will need to be firing on all cylinders. Navajo Nation is probably the chief danger, while Silent War is also in the running for some place money at least.
