Forecasts

Spring High (5/2), Fateful Day (3/1), Willow's Wish (3/1), Macara (4/1), Southern Cape (5/1), Silver Tycoon (11/2), Ralph The Rascal (7/1)

WILLOW'S WISH looks to be the safest option but has little room for error. Southern Cape could provide the toughest opposition, while Macara is not out of it where the places are concerned.
