DESERT FLOWER looks more than capable of giving Charlie Appleby a first Oaks success. Unbeaten in five career outings, the daughter of Night Of Thunder only ever seems to do enough and the way she finished off the 1000 Guineas gave a strong indication that she may relish this rise in distance. A taking winner of the Cheshire Oaks, Minnie Hauk must enter calculations as a proven stayer but the best of the Ballydoyle contingent may be Whirl, who produced a career-best performance when landing the Musidora at York. Hailing from a family that includes Oaks winner Look Here, Revoir is another to consider on the rise in trip, as is the supplemented Elwateen, who caught the eye on only her second start when a highly-encouraging fourth in the Guineas. |
Only nine runners but an up-to-scratch renewal with a host of highly promising trial winners taking on a proven Group 1 filly. That filly is of course the unbeaten Desert Flower who will be tough to beat if she does stay this longer trip while the way she found plenty late on when taking the 1,000 Guineas last time again augured well for her staying further than 1m. Her pedigree does raise enough of a doubt though for preference to be for an each-way alternative at bigger odds. That brings in WHIRL, who was a revelation when running away with the Musidora at York last time, is highly likely to stay 1m4f and can continue Aidan O'Brien's superb record of late in this race. She wouldn't be the first filly which is ostensibly the stable second string to win this either. Stablemate Giselle can claim minor honours ahead of potential improvers Elwateen and Ryan Moore's pick of the O'Brien trio, Minnie Hauk. |

Five from five, including reappearance success in the 1,000 Guineas last time; stayed 1m very well as a 2yo, which is a positive as regards 12f stamina now; likely class edge if she stays. |

Jockey bookings suggest she isn't top yard's main hope while big step up needed form wise; she's an unexposed potential improver though and latest odds-on win showed she stays; claims. |
