Forecasts

Opening Ceremony (9/4), Teardrop (5/2), Maya's Cat (4/1), Federal Reserve (13/2), Ponderosa Pine (15/2), So Dacha (11/1), The Last Belle (16/1), Il Combattente (28/1), American Dazzler (33/1), Sunset Reaper (33/1), Western Jack (40/1), Hot Ice (66/1)

OPENING CEREMONY is just about the safest pick but it promises to be touch and go. American Dazzler is the most realistic second preference, while Teardrop also needs a closer look.
