Forecasts

Desert Flower (1/1), January (10/3), Ecstatic (13/2), Flight (17/2), Anshoda (14/1), Miss Tonnerre (22/1), Elsie's Ruan (25/1), Biniorella Bay (33/1), Serving With Style (80/1), Manila Thriller (200/1)

On looks, pedigree and the impression she's created so far, DESERT FLOWER seems set to reach a smart level of form as a 2-y-o and she's expected to take the step up in class and trip in her stride and remain unbeaten. This trip also promises to suit Anshoda so she's offered as the chief threat, ahead of the Aidan O'Brien-trained pair January and Ecstatic.
