DEMI (3) really dug deep to get the prize by 2. 25 lengths three runs back at Churchill Downs (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at her last two starts. Goes well at this journey with three wins and four placings from eight starts and is expected to feature. FILLY CRYSTAL (2) did little and finished 9 lengths from the winner in ninth over 6f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her fifth at Aqueduct the run before. Won't find this as tough so she is a major player. ARR PIRATETREASURE (9) is back from a lay-off of nine weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 6½f at Remington Park (Dirt). Solid chance. WILDWOOD QUEEN (8) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by 0. 8 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Open to plenty of improvement and is among the better chances.
