Forecasts

Runaway Song (10/11), Zatara Magic (6/4), Bournemouth (2/1), Firealley (11/2), Harold The Duke (11/1), Magnum Fire (18/1), Ellis Island (25/1)

RUNAWAY SONG is selected rather gingerly but will need everything to fall right. Firealley is the rational second option, while Zatara Magic is another with a place chance too.
