The FL Oaks – Grade III
1 1/16 Mile Turf Stake Purse $200.000 Filly 3 Year Olds.

1st Creepy Ruler Mb Stables Spencer J P

Whilst her stable mate was stalking just an average pace she went back to be saved for a late run. J P Spencer has been riding well recently and got the timing spot on getting over the top of them late to run out a convincing winner. This is her third win in a row, and she has improved each time, so I think the trainer will be looking forward to and exciting year ahead with her.

2nd People Easer Mb Stables Centeno D E

I thought she may push on from her inside gate to try and lead them up, but she was content to take the stalk and looked a likely winner with a half to run. In the end she was out finished by her stable mate who looks more of a distance horse than she and she may end up being at her best below the mile.

3rd Ava Royalty Stables Velazquez J R

A fair effort from the BC winner off a long break. She was a little bit fresh and fired up from her outside gate and pushed onto the speed. I think with this run under her belt she will see it out a little better next time but, on this occasion, she just got weary inside the final furlong. A good effort promising of more to come.

4th Sannys Legacy Threshold Lopez P

Trailed the field for much of the race before picking a few off in the run to the line. The timing was wrong today off a pace that was always going to make it hard to come at them late and she left it far too late.
