Vampish (11/4), Ebqaa (3/1), Birch Grove (10/3), Sula Island (11/2), Point In Time (8/1), Gemini (11/1)
Ebqaa did not get the clearest of runs over C&D last time so she did well to finish so close. She has to go on the short list along with the consistent Point In Time, but the one with most improvement in her is BIRCH GROVE, who was keen over C&D earlier this month and should be more amenable to restraint with that run under her belt. Cases can also be made for Vampish and Gemini.
