Three-year-old fillies take to the lawn for Saturday's running of the Valley View Stakes (gr. IIIT) at Keeneland and a handful of shippers will have the upper hand.

Pia Kirkham's Chausson Poire arrives from Louisiana Downs riding a three-stakes win streak. The daughter of Northern Spur has won six of her 11 lifetime starts for trainer Duane Knipe who brings Russell Woolsey along for the ride.

Fox Ridge Farm Cozzy Corner returns to Kentucky from New York New Jersey where she managed to win the Just Smashing Stakes at the Meadowlands.

The Patrick Kelly-trained miss took a conditioned allowance race on the Keeneland grass during the spring meeting in her only Kentucky appearance.

Mark Frostad ships in Sam-Son Farm, Goodman and Harrigan's Sky Alliance who has won back-to-back stakes in her last two outings.

The Valley View field consists of: Libretto (Larry Melancon); Cozzy Corner (Lonnie Meche); Chausson Poire (Russell Woolsey); Sluice (Robby Albarado); Coney Kitty (Jon Court); Quick Tip (Pat Day); Sky Alliance (Mark Guidry); La Recherche (Marlon St. Julien); Peace Keeping (Craig Perret); and Twilite Tryst (Chris Ernigh).
