It's difficult to make a decent case for a single one of this bunch but GRACIE'S GIFT was fourth over C&D off a higher mark back in March and gets the token vote on that basis. She also has the beating of Flow Chart on collateral form while Bird Dog won over 5f here in January but has shown nothing in five subsequent starts. Tenancy has also failed to figure since scoring over 7f on this track in March and Bookiesindex Boy has done all his winning over 5f.
