Entering off a victory last out in the Ontario Colleen on June 21 at Woodbine, Gary Barber's Got Stormy will look to pick up her fourth consecutive win, headlining a full field of 12 in the $200,000 Pebbles for 3-year-old fillies at one mile on the turf Saturday at Belmont Park.

A 3-year-old daughter of Get Stormy in the care of trainer Mark Casse, Got Stormy broke her maiden in her third career start last February at Gulfstream Park. After placing third in the Sanibel Island at Gulfstream, she made her first graded stakes start finishing fourth in the Grade 3 Edgewood at Churchill Downs. She picked up back-to-back victories in the Penn Oaks at Parx Racing and Wild Applause at Belmont before winning the Ontario Colleen.

Casse will also send Closer Still for Calumet Farm. An Irish-bred So You Think filly, she finished third in the Christiecat on Sept. 7 in her most recent start. She is in search of her first win since winning an allowance optional-claiming race on Dec. 8 at Woodbine.

Trainer Michael Trombetta has also entered a pair with Monte Crista for Country Life Farm and Souper Striking for Live Oak Plantation.

Monte Crista will look to build off a win in the Riskaverse on Aug. 23 at Saratoga. Souper Striking will look to rebound a fifth-place finish in the Christiecat.

Rounding out the field is Cool Beans for trainer Brad Cox and Magic Cap Stables; Victorine for trainer Christophe Clement and owner Ed Rothschild; Andina Del Sur for trainer Tom Albertrani and Don Alberto Stable; Kitten's Covergirl for trainer Pat Reynolds and owner Robert Amendola; and Goodthingstaketime for trainer Jorge Abreu and Madaket Stables.
