True, and the second choice on the ML in that race is by Action This Day, and the third choice is out of a Strike the Gold mare. None of those pedigrees exactly scream 4.5f to me.
I haven't really looked at the Sunday card much yet, but at first glance that race seems tough.

Weren't both Street Cry and Tabasco Cat precocious 2yos? Street Cry couldn't have run further than 5.5f in his debut (which he won).

I think both of them were in the money in the BCJ, and I think Tabasco Cat won some minor stakes race at 2. Street Cry put together a pretty decent 2yo campaign too if I remember correctly.
There is certainly no reason that a colt with Desert Party's pedigree couldn't be a very nice 2yo runner, but it seems probable that he will do better at the 2yo races later in the year when the distances stretch out a bit.
That being said, a big effort from him this weekend wouldn't exactly be a big shocker.
