LITHE SPIRIT (7) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 6½f in stakes class at this track (Synthetic) last start to make it three straight. Same winning combination as last time and can measure up again. CLOUDWALKER (3) is a handy type who resumes after a break of three-and-a-half months. At her last appearance she finished eighth over 5½f at Listed level at Fairgrounds (Turf), beaten 5 lengths. Has scored when resuming from a lay-off before. Nicely placed and sure to go well. MOONLIT LADY (8) ran fourth at her latest appearance over 6f at Oaklawn Park, clocking in 5 lengths from the winner. Senior rider aboard this time. One of the genuine contenders. NICE AS PIE (9) registered a strong win two runs ago then turned in a decent effort last time out when second over 6f at this track, beaten half a length. One of the main hopes.
