Forecasts

Golden Palm (1/4), One Fine Winter (6/1), Alta Capitana (20/1), Tina Lovelace (22/1), Charge It (22/1), A Bit Of Class (40/1), Limitless Sky (40/1), Celestial Diamond (40/1), Alannah (66/1), Wings Of Ice (66/1), Back From War (100/1)

GOLDEN PALM will take all the beating. One Fine Winter seems the most likely to step into the breach if the selection fails to deliver, while Limitless Sky looks best of the others.
