Forecasts

Winter Flight (5/2), Coin Spinner (5/2), Pray For Rain (11/4), Formagear (11/4), Irfaans Boy (11/2), Spydas Corner (8/1), Ishnana (17/2)

IRFAANS BOY looks marginally the pick in this field but has little margin for error. Pray For Rain could be the answer to second place, while Winter Flight also commands a closer look.
