Nan
Closed with a rush in maiden voyage on the green then faded in main track try; her sire was a winner of 1.17 million while the dam won 17K; sib to 139K earner Heaven's Prospect; a yielding course would be an obvious plus.

Pull Dancer
See Paradise Bound, above, for information about same sire; the dam involved was unraced; no winning sibs to report.
