Forecasts

Flowerbomb (7/4), Chyavana (5/2), Mercantour (5/1), Tuscan Winter (11/2), Follow Me (11/1), On Cue (14/1), Fast Love (14/1), Mitch Got His Wish (18/1), Captain Hindsight (20/1), Dockofthebay (20/1), Sound Of Summer (28/1)

FLOWERBOMB was much improved in her latest start and is the one to catch. Fast Love seems best of the rest, while Chyavana is another with place prospects.
