“That was a good piece of work,” Thomas said. “The filly that worked inside of her (stakes winner Born Dapper) is no slouch. I was very pleased with it. We’ll take it.” …

Working in company with multiple graded stakes winner Dolce Zel (FR), Free Look covered a half-mile in :49.20. Free Look also is a candidate for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf.
