A trio of fillies nominated to Saturday's GII Santa Anita Oaks–Cashed (I'll Have Another), Hypergamy (American Pharoah) and Nimah (Gun Runner)–worked Sunday. Also working at Santa Anita, British Isles (Justify) returned to the tab following his win in the GI Santa Anita Handicap.
Cashed and Hypergamy are both trained by Doug O'Neill. Cashed worked four furlongs in :49.8, while Hypergamy worked five furlongs in 1:02. Cashed most recently set the pace in last month's Sunland Park Oaks going one mile before weakening to sixth. The California-bred previously was second in the GII Starlet at Los Alamitos and second in the California Cup Oaks on turf at Santa Anita.
Hypergamy, who has never raced on dirt, most recently set the pace in the one-mile China Doll Stakes on the lawn before being overtaken by Counterbalance (Caravaggio) to finish second.
Trained by Bob Baffert, Nimah hasn't started since finishing third in the 1 1/16-mile Starlet in December. That effort followed a debut win going 6 ½ furlongs in November at Del Mar.
British Isles, trained by Richard Baltas, worked four furlongs in :49.2, the 6-year-old gelding's first work since winning the Mar. 7 Santa Anita Handicap by 4 1/2 lengths.
Also returning to the tab was Take A Breath (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}), who two weeks ago won the GIII Santa Ana Stakes. The 4-year-old worked four furlongs in :50.8. Take A Breath, trained by Mark Glatt, is a candidate for Santa Anita's GI Gamely at 1 1/8 miles on turf on May 25.
