Forecasts

Bastogne (1/1), Letter Of The Law (11/4), Say Grace (7/2), Fortuna Dufflecoat (12/1), High And Wide (66/1), Gun Dog (66/1)

SAY GRACE has a bit to find with Letter of The Law and Bastogne but unlike that pair, the Rae Guest filly arrives at the top of her game, which often counts for plenty at this level. She therefore receives the vote.
