Curtis Sampson Oaks Black Type

Chart notes

SCHLOFMITZ was rated off the second flight flight between foes to the backstretch, continued under patient handling into the second bend, swung out five wide nearing upper stretch advancing with a sharp move to gain the advantage late, then held the challenge of WHENTHEDAWNBREAKS to the end under strong encouragement. The latter was reserved along the inside in the opening stages, tipped out to race between foes under rating after a half to the far turn, angled out entering the stretch to advance six wide between foes racing past midstretch and continued willingly to challenge the winner nearing the wire. LATIN NIKKITA was rated outside foes in second flight, advanced four wide nearing upper stretch to challenge for command in tandem with several rivals but was outkicked. BLISSFUL ducked inwards while breaking slowly, was settled between foes in the last flight racing to the far turn, then angled five wide in the stretch to gain position between foes with a belated effort. DREAMWORKER settled outside foes racing to the backstretch, was prompted to advance four wide racing through the far turn, was fanned seven wide entering the lane and continued with a mild bid. ELLE OF THE BALL tracked the leaders outside a rival in second flight racing to the backstretch, briefly awaited an opening between foes nearing upper stretch, shifted out racing through the stretch while being urged to advance but had no final kick. CAPTAIRE was urged prompting the pace outside a rival to the far turn, then weakened between foes through late stages. OFF RAMP angled inwards gaining a position tracking just off the first flight racing to the backstretch, came through inside foes to challenge for command in upper stretch but came up empty midstretch. SKY HIGH SUSAN, reserved between foes in the last flight to the far turn, never gained contention. MISS HARD KNOCKS required an equipment adjustment prior to the start, was reserved while angling to the inside racing to the backstretch, saved ground on the far turn, then altered course avoiding traffic nearing midstretch while never threatening. TWIRLING SAVI was rated inside foes in second flight, faded conceding some position racing into the stretch, then was held up avoiding close quarters midstretch while giving way. ASENA was urged inside a rival disputing the pace from the outset, edged forward racing through the far turn and gave out midstretch.
