Forecasts

Zeitz (1/2), Claude Monet (8/1), Bombers In The Sky (9/1), Afrique (12/1), American Matador (12/1), Gnarly (16/1), Henry's Hedge (18/1), Garden Sun (20/1), Champonelle (22/1), Lights On (33/1), Typically French (40/1), Jet A One (40/1), Pee Jay (66/1)

ZEITZ looks marginally the best of these but will need to be firing on all cylinders. American Matador could be the one to take advantage if the selection underperforms, while Champonelle also requires a second look.
