Trainer Kay Cooper is expecting strong efforts from Cascade Dancer and Tothemoonandback when they make their seasonal debuts in an allowance race for nonwinners of two or Washington-bred nonwinners of three at Emerald Downs on Thursday. The 5 1/2-furlong dash for fillies and mares drew six horses and goes as race four on the 10-race card, which begins at 6 p.m. Pacific. A 3-year-old Washington-bred daughter of Atta Boy Roy, Tothemoonandback will be making just her second start following a successful debut in a maiden special weight race on Oct. 15. Cascade Dancer is also lightly raced, with just two starts. The 4-year-old daughter of Nationhood got off to a poor beginning in her debut last year, but came back with a win in a maiden special weight race on July 16.

They worked an easy three furlongs together on Sunday and they both came back happy.” Tothemoonandback was in with her own age group in an allowance race on May 27 but was scratched due to the track condition. “She has a hard time with the kind of muddy track we ended up with,” said Cooper. “I would rather run her with 3-year-olds, but they both need to run so I entered her to make the race go.” Cascade Dancer will break from the rail with Javier Matias riding. Kevin Radke will be aboard when Tothemoonandback leaves from post 3. Cascade Dancer has speed and should be in the mix right from the start. Tothemoonandback came from a stalking position in her debut win. With other speed in the field she could get the right kind of trip. For You Only could end up favored. The Howard Belvoir trainee will appreciate the easier company following a third-place finish in a conditioned allowance race that carried a $50,000 claiming option in her first start this year on May 20. The winner, Daffodil Sweet, is a stakes winner who has never lost sprinting, with her only defeat a runner-up finish behind Princess of Cairo in the $40,000 Washington Oaks last year. A 4-year-old daughter of Abraaj, For You Only has speed, but is versatile. In her only win she came from a stalking position to capture the $54,000 Angie C. in her second start as a 2-year-old. She will break from post 2 with Jennifer Whitaker riding. Madigan Square was very impressive winning her first start as a 3-year-old for trainer David Martinez. With Alex Anya aboard, the daughter of Mr. Rancho Vista broke on top and never looked back while winning a $15,000 maiden claimer by 11 1/4 lengths on May 19. She also showed excellent speed when she finished second in her only other start, which came in an $8,000 maiden claimer as a 2-year-old last year. She could be the one to run down if she breaks alertly from the outside post with Anaya retaining the mount.
