Forecasts

Field Marshal (2/1), Lindbergh (10/3), Sundance Kid (4/1), Officer In Command (8/1), Zinikele (8/1), Few Dollars More (9/1), Royal Swan Master (11/1), Last One Standing (11/1), Winter Games (12/1), Laudato (18/1)

ZINIKELE should be in the mix but has little margin for error. Last One Standing could provide the most competition, while Lindbergh deserves respect as well.
