Maiden Special Weight

Chart notes

MY LIBERTY broke sharply, angled inwards leaving the chute dictating the pace on a narrow margin racing into the turn, shifted off the inside while being roused to repel the challenge of DREAMING OF GERRY and gamely held that rival to the end under firm handling. The latter, in touch with the eventual winner from the outset attending that rival's pace under light rating, was urged to press the issue into upper stretch while striking the front between calls but was just outfinished. FLYING WITH ANGELS broke inwards bumping DANCE SOME MO, was righted to track just off the leaders between foes racing into the turn, shifted inside the top pair when presented an opening racing into upper stretch and continued willingly to close the gap. WELL TOLD, held up out of close quarters at the break, settled last through the backstretch, shifted out racing into the turn to make sharp progress four wide nearing upper stretch, lugged inwards nearing midstretch, came under left handed correction in the last furlong but flattened out in the closing stages. VILLAGE PREACHER tracked the leaders outside rivals in second flight in the opening stages, was prompted to make brief progress three deep racing into the turn but faded foes nearing upper stretch. SHOOTING, caught in close quarters racing past the chute, was held up off the second flight while pulling a bit racing through the backstretch and never gained contention. DANCE SOME MO, a bit reluctant to load, was bumped at the start losing position to the leaders, was prompted to make some brief progress inside foes gaining a position in the second flight racing to the turn but gave way nearing upper stretch.
