Pillbox (2) has returned in good shape this preparation.Opened with a third at this track (dirt) two starts back then got the job done by 9 lengths as public elect last time out over 6f at this track (dirt).Finds a tougher race but she has the talent to test this line-up.Story hour (5) should be at her top after three runs this prep, the latest a second over 6½f at keeneland (dirt) five weeks ago.Has a fine record here with two wins from four starts.Right in this.Filly crystal (6) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 6f at this track (dirt), beaten 9 lengths.Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is good enough to play a major role.Luna moth (7) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1m1/2f at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance.Has her share of ability.Hard to beat in this suitable race.
