Gazelle d'Or sits five pounds below the top-rated Erosandpsyche on our figures, but a progressive profile suggests there is more to come from this filly on good-to-firm ground over five furlongs at the Curragh. Erosandpsyche leads the ratings and must be respected, while Ipanema Queen and Chicago Call — both rated 106 — add depth to the danger list in a competitive 14-runner field. The case for our selection rests on the belief that she has not yet shown her ceiling, though the step up against more exposed rivals keeps confidence measured. **Gazelle d'Or** is the pick.
