Forecasts

Ultra Quick (2/1), Brave Voyager (2/1), Quick Star (5/1), Preemptive Strike (13/2), Son Of Silk (8/1), Brass Bell (8/1), High Velocity (12/1), Conchita (20/1), Ultimate Jewel (25/1)

ULTRA QUICK is probably the safest recommendation but will need to be on song. Conchita is the rational second choice, while Brave Voyager is perhaps the most interesting of the others.
