A full field of well-bred fillies contests six panels here, with Larry Jones first-timer ASTROLLINTHEPARK (Divine Park) looming large off a pair of local bullet breezes. Bred and owned by Dreamchaser Thorobreds, the bay blew out five furlongs from the gate here in :59 3/5 (1/35) Jan. 5 and followed that up by covering the same distance in 1:00 flat (1/25) Jan. 24. Astrollinthepark is a half-sister to GISW Hard Aces (Hard Spun). Rehearsed (Tapit) makes her career bow for trainer Neil Howard. The William S. Farish and Lazy F Ranch homebred is a full to SW/GISP Closing Bell and a half to GISW Mani Bhavan (Storm Boot) and GSW Hear the Ghost (Ghostzapper). Her second dam is a half to Silken Cat (Storm Cat), 1995's Canadian champion juvenile filly and dam of Eclipse-winning sprinter Speightstown (Gone West). Godolphin will be represented by Arbol (Elusive Quality), a debutante out of MGSW Forest Heiress (Forest Wildcat), who is a full-sister to GISW and successful sire Wildcat Heir. The chestnut's second dam is a half to On to Royalty (On to Glory), the MGSW/GISP dam of 1996 GI Preakness S. hero Louis Quatorze (Sovereign Dancer). William Bret Calhoun sends out Coteau Grove Farms' homebred firster Mighty Nice Rags (Union Rags). The bay's second dam is 2005 GI Breeders' Cup Distaff heroine Pleasant Home (Seeking the Gold), a full-sister to MGSW/MGISP Country Hideaway and Matlacha Pass, the dam of MGISWs Point of Entry (Dynaformer) and Pine Island (Arch). Third dam Our Country Place (Pleasant Colony) is a half-sister to champion Sky Beauty (Blushing Groom {Fr}). TJCIS PPs —@JBiancaTDN
