Forecasts

Nina Amelia (2/1), Flower Of Scotland (4/1), Glowtoria (9/2), May Queen (5/1), Persica (5/1), The Fifth Wave (11/2), See You Tyger (13/2), Dunyaa (12/1), Countess Helen (16/1), Ilha Da Varlette (28/1), Zephira Rain (66/1)

THE FIFTH WAVE just about edges it as the selection but this is an open race. Flower Of Scotland may be the best bet to chase the selection home, while Nina Amelia also requires scrutiny.
