Verdict

Givers Grace might have got the vote if faring better with the draw while Princess Ilaria, Faizah and Givers Grace have won over C&D. But ONE SMART COOKIE is the pick of these. Based on her most recent success. She is the form pick and given her current winning run, she has every chance of going in again.
