Forecasts

Thomas Tucker (6/4), Chainsaw (2/1), Black Gardenia (9/2), La Duchesse (13/2), Exaltation (16/1), Pickawinner (18/1), Karakoram (20/1), Basilica Santo (22/1), Final Assembly (25/1), The Carpenter (40/1)

EXALTATION has obvious claims if just as effective at this different trip. Chainsaw is probably the biggest danger, while Thomas Tucker also commands consideration.
