2013 Natalma Stakes Race Favorite Entries

Appreciating - one of three Mark Casse trainees in the field looked impressive in her only career start thus far - a MSW score on this track August 23. She may be Casse's best chance at winning his third straight Natalma and will have Gary Boulanger in the saddle.

Madly Truly - another Mark Casse trained filly entered in the Natalma. Last time out was a third in her stakes debut - the minor Ontario Debutante after a six MSW score by 4 1/4 lengths and a fourth in her career debut in a MSW at Churchill Downs June 20.

Skylander Girl - has five career starts already in her career and has two stakes wins to her credit - the minor My Dear Stakes July 6 and the minor Ontario Debutante Stakes August 10. Last time out was her worst career performance however - a sixth in the minor Muskoka Stakes on this track August 28. She is the most accomplished entry in the field - one that will be out to avenge an ugly outing in the Muskoka

My Conquestadory - the last Mark Casse trainee and daughter of Artie Schiller, will make her career debut in either the Natalma or in the Summer Stakes presented by TVG against juvenile males later in the day at Woodbine. She is entered in both.

Spring Likeacobra - Mark Casse trained filly debuted with an unflattering sixth in the minor My Dear Stakes in a race Skylander Girl won but followed that with a MSW score last time out here August 3. She has some stakes experience - you can't say that about many of the Natalma field.
