Forecasts

Minerva (8/15), Moments Of Joy (3/1), Thenandnow (5/1), Little Sure Shot (6/1), Lady Dora Mae (10/1), Parallax (22/1), Stairiuil (66/1), Quinn's Charm (80/1)

Highly likely this will go to a newcomer with MINERVA rather leaping off the page as a 1,500,000 gns Frankel filly representing top connections. Thenandnow is bred to have a really bright future too, with Moments of Joy, a stablemate of the selection, also having plenty to recommend her.
