Forecasts

Confederate (7/4), Shinto Shrine (11/4), Golden Pavilion (4/1), Whispers Of War (7/1), Diwali Rocket (9/1), Hazlo Grande (10/1), Coming In Hot (16/1), Black Lightning (25/1)

DIWALI ROCKET was much improved in his most recent run and will take all the beating. Golden Pavilion seems the primary challenger, while Shinto Shrine also seems unlikely to be far away.
