What's the best fingering to use in Bars 3 & 4 for the C6 right hand chords with the grace notes F# and Ab?

the ABRSM G8 book suggests 2-1 for the grace note F# to G but this leaves fingers 3,4,5 for A, C, E which I find uncomfortable. I find it easier to use 1 (thumb) and slide from the F# to G, leaving 2,3, 5 for the A,C,E

I suppose the truth is... it's jazz... it doesn't really matter... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clarinet.gif)

Thanks all - much easier and I can only assume the suggested fingering is an error.
