Østberg is clearly the biggest favourite beforehand.
He is best on this kind of rallies, has extensive experience from Estonia including last year in same car (only WRC2 driver except Huttunen om same car) and has done extensive testing/development for this rally.

Others have pros and cons with Gryazin and Mikkelsen being the closest on paper.

But as it's rally anything can happen.

WRC3 cars like Lukyanuk will surely benefit from start posistion on first pass (also shown last year), might suffer on second.
