Forecasts

Greek Flower (5/4), First Gentleman (9/2), Nouvel Espoir (5/1), Never Cry Never (5/1), Cholita (17/2), Ferrari Desert (14/1), Wayside Lady (14/1), Billboa (16/1), Beaumadier (22/1), Bear Cub (25/1), Mimosa Park (33/1), Second Fiddle (80/1), Wild Eyed Girl (80/1), Haalim (100/1), Ceres Ring (150/1), Ginnos Port (200/1), Go Til Its Over (250/1)

Though she remains a maiden following a dozen attempts, GREEK FLOWER made the frame for the seventh time when runner-up over 7f Down Royal last month. This drop back in trip looks a good move and she is taken to get off the mark, perhaps at the chief expense of First Gentleman. Of the others, Nouvel Espoir is the most interesting.
