Forecasts

Bright And Brazen (2/1), Spiritrix (11/4), Winds Of Grace (4/1), Sakura Hanami (4/1), Misty Metal (11/2), Waiting On Charlie (8/1), Bell Of Angelus (11/1), Far Reaching (14/1), Far Beyond (25/1), Willow Lady (28/1)

MISTY METAL is fairly exposed but the step back up in trip is in her favour so she could be the answer. Winds of Grace and Bright And Brazen are a couple of potential threats.
