Forecasts

Shortstop (2/1), What A Story (4/1), In The Game (6/1), Westwing Belter (15/2), Master Boulder (8/1), Supa Mufti (10/1), Out Of The Rainbow (10/1), Loralei (11/1), Golden Duke (12/1), March To Glory (16/1), Zig Zag (16/1), Free Deal (20/1), Secret Dynasty (33/1), Iron Born (50/1)

WHAT A STORY's recent runs have had a lot to like about them and he's the way to go. In The Game is likely to be waiting in the wings if the selection fails to deliver. Shortstop also enters the reckoning.
