Forecasts

Naoshima (5/2), Alsflamingbeauty (5/2), Deep Thought (5/2), Hopskipandjump (3/1), Beat It (7/1), Vase (7/1), Flashy Kaitrina (9/1), Flaming Lass (22/1)

ALSFLAMINGBEAUTY looks to be the safest option but will need everything to fall right. Beat It is the most realistic second preference, while Vase isn't out of it either.
