Verdict

A few holes to pick in the claims of some of these and GRACIOUS JOHN is the suggestion, given his best form this season and his ability to act on slower ground. Blue De Vega looks a potential danger if he can get back to the form he was showing before being gelded, while stablemate Storm Over and Orvar are others with claims. Intense Romance is not ruled out of the money.
  1. Gracious John
  2. Blue De Vega
