Forecasts

Libeccio (3/1), The Inkosana (9/2), Universal Love (5/1), Spring In Heaven (11/2), Carnelo (6/1), Top Man (7/1), Parker Getrix (15/2), Fiery Cliffs (16/1), The Chosen One (16/1), Summerland (20/1)

SPRING IN HEAVEN is probably the best recommendation but it's an open race. Summerland could be the one to profit if the selection underperforms, while Libeccio also requires a closer look.
