Last race: Feb. 27, 9th
Finish: 2nd by 2 3/4

A towering filly, she chased In Tune and outran her odds before weakening to second in the drive. She is a quality horse and gifted to have such natural speed, being as large as she is; stakes potential.
Canny Nanny

Last race: Feb. 27, 1st
Finish: 1st by 3 1/4
Beyer: 87
Returned to turf after finishing 2013 racing on Polytrack and showed marked improvement with the surface switch. She proved a stylish winner and looks capable of taking the next step into a first-level allowance.
Mongolian Saturday
Trainer: Enebish Ganbat
Last race: March 3, 5th
Finish: 3rd by 4
Beyer: 87
Although in good form in two starts this winter on dirt, it is on Polytrack that this one is at his best. He is one to keep an eye on for Keeneland and down the road at his home base of Arlington Park.
