Untapable (Tapit) tuned up for an expected start in Friday's GI Apple Blossom S. with a bullet four-furlong work in :48 at Oaklawn Monday. Clockers caught Untapable's final quarter-mile in :23 and she galloped out five furlongs in 1:01.40.
Trainer Steve Asmussen said he will confer with owner Ron Winchell before a final decision on the Apple Blossom is made.
“I thought she went beautiful,” Asmussen said. “It looks like all systems go.”
Last year's champion 3-year-old filly, Untapable was second behind Gold Medal Dancer (Medaglia d'Oro) while making her 2015 debut in the Mar. 14 GII Azeri S.
Also working from the Asmussen barn at Oaklawn Monday was Tapiture (Tapit), possible for Saturday's GII Oaklawn H. The 4-year-old, who was most recently fifth in the Mar. 14 GIII Razorback H. breezed a half-mile in :50. Stablemate and multiple stakes winner Bayerd (Speightstown), who worked three furlongs at Oaklawn Monday in :37.60, is scheduled to go postward in Friday's Bachelor S.
