Forecasts

Irrevocable Dream (4/1), Soul Connection (4/1), Shortstop (9/2), Gang Leader (6/1), Crown Guardian (9/1), Snow In Seattle (9/1), Forever Light (12/1), Blow Me Down (16/1), Solarize (16/1), Master Boulder (16/1), Bridge Of Spies (18/1), Afriel (22/1), Forbe's Quarry (25/1), Iron Mike (25/1), Top Line (25/1), Liquidity (50/1)

SOUL CONNECTION is back at the top of his game right now and sets a solid standard. Shortstop could be the one to profit if the selection underperforms, while Snow In Seattle is the other candidate for the three.
