4th-KEE, $67K, Msw, 2yo, f, 5 1/2fT, post time: 2:45 p.m. ET
LADY WORTHINGTON (Scat Daddy), a $650K Keeneland September purchase, will have to overcome the rail draw as a 7-2 chance on the morning line for this career debut. Campaigned in partnership by her breeder, Stonestreet and Fitry Hay, the bay is a daughter of Argentinian Group 1 winner Misty Lady (Arg) (Lucky Roberto). And She’s Gone (War Front) was purchased by Phyllis Wyeth’s Chadds Ford Stable for $725K at KEESEP last year and is out of the MSP Bend (Arch), dam of MGSW and Belmont track-record setter Clearly Now (Horse Greeley) and ‘TDN Rising Star’ and GSW Bendable (Horse Greeley). Fancy Dress Party (Munnings), a full-sister to SW Will Munnings, cost $280K at KEESEP. Her third dam Meafara (Meadowlake) was desperately unlucky to lose back-to-back GI Breeders’ Cup Sprints in 1992 and 1993. TJCIS PPs

CLOSEAU (Pioneerof the Nile) makes his first career trip to the races for his breeder Don Alberto Stable after the operation elected to retain the colt when bidding on him stalled out at $885K at Keeneland last September. The son of SP Chattertown (Speightstown) is a half-brother to 2016 GII Jim Dandy S. upsetter Laoban (Uncle Mo), while the colt’s third dam includes treble Grade I winner I’m A Chatterbox (Munnings).

ULELE (Candy Ride {Arg}), a $300K Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling purchase, is the most recent to make the races out of Princess Arabella (Any Given Saturday), who defeated Glinda the Good (Hard Spun)–later the dam of champion Good Magic (Curlin)–by eight lengths in the 2012 Sunland Park Oaks. A half-sister to SW & MGSP Dyna’s Lassie (Dynaformer), Princess Arabella was purchased by Summer Wind Equine for $725K in foal to Tapit at KEEJAN in 2013. TJCIS PPs
