Forecasts

Roger The Dodger (2/1), Into The Future (7/2), Midnight Gem (5/1), Stop For Nothing (11/2), Informative (7/1), Wuhan (8/1), Encore (16/1), Father Time (18/1), Opening Gambit (25/1), Flower Season (28/1), Master Boulder (33/1)

ROGER THE DODGER is probably the safest recommendation. Wuhan could provide the sternest threat ahead of Informative.
