Verdict

Persian Wind and Oskar High are in good heart and cases can be made for both, along with Movingswiftlyalong and Tranquil Magic. Preference, though, is for CHARMS BRACELET, who won over C&D last time and has not been hit too harshly by the handicapper. Boudry and Alterno look best of the rest.
  1. Charms Bracelet
  2. Oskar High
  3. Persian Wind
