Forecasts

Kudzu (10/3), Obsidian (7/2), Spring Tradition (9/2), Pocket Watch (9/2), Super Awesome (8/1), Espinoza (8/1), Warhawk Bomber (12/1), Hat Trick Or Treat (22/1), Birthright (25/1), Skittles Skies (25/1), Safe Space (28/1), Supreme Dance (40/1), Casus Belli (40/1), Robert Browning (50/1)

Verdict

OBSIDIAN is just about best of these all things considered but others can't be discounted in an open contest. Super Awesome makes most appeal of the remainder, while Hat Trick Or Treat might well have a say as well.
