Top Ky Oaks contender Monomoy Girl worked 5f in 59.60 this morning at Fair Grounds; Ashland next

Monomoy Girl, one of the top contenders for the Kentucky Oaks on May 4 at Churchill Downs, worked five furlongs in 59.60 seconds on Sunday morning at Fair Grounds, her final work here before she departs for Kentucky, where she will make her next start in the Grade 1 Ashland Stakes at Keeneland.

The Ashland is on April 7, on the same card as the Blue Grass Stakes for Kentucky Derby aspirants.

The Ashland will be the final prep for the Kentucky Oaks for Monomoy Girl, and she will have one work in Kentucky prior to the Ashland.

Her work on Sunday was in company, with regular rider Florent Geroux aboard. Her trainer, Brad Cox, had her galloping out six furlongs in 1:12.80 after she disposed of her workmate.

Monomoy Girl has won four times in five starts. In her only start this year, she won the Rachel Alexandra at Fair Grounds on Feb. 17. She bypassed the Fair Grounds Oaks on Saturday in order to shoot for a Grade 1 prize in the Ashland.
