If you compare exacta payoffs of the 4 of them, here's how often each of them has the lowest payoff when in the 1st position of the exacta: (indicating, most favored)

Imp: 9
Tac: 4
GW: 4
MS: 2

And here's how often each of them had the highest payoff, indicating least favored:

Tac: 0
Imp: 2
MS: 8
GW: 9

Having looked at it more closely, it does look like GW will edge out MS for 3rd favorite.
Good stuff. That all makes sense.
