Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

WALLYPOP broke readily to gain a forward placing four wide in the opening stages, shifted inwards nearing the turn to prompt a rival's pace, took over midway through the bend, shifted out nearing upper stretch while being roused to repel a challenge from THROWN FOR A LOUPE racing into upper stretch and held that rival gamely to the end under firm left handed encouragement. The latter took up a position tracking off the first flight inside rivals racing to the turn, was prompted to advance shifting three wide nearing upper stretch, steadily moved to terms with the pacesetter racing into upper stretch but couldn't quite best that foe while disputing the issue to the end. POWERFUL MOON sped to the lead while angling to the inside setting the pace on a narrow advantage, dueled for command inside the eventual winner racing into the turn, couldn't match the top pair nearing the furlong marker and gave way late. ALMONASTER was prompted to a forward placing between foes tracking just off the leaders racing to the turn and steadily faded into the stretch. WILD CHASE, slow to gathered stride, settled outside foes, angled inwards racing into the turn and passed inside some tiring rivals late. BIZ NOW, caught four wide racing off the second flight to the turn, offered no rally. DEVILISH THOUGHTS was urged three wide between foes to gain a position just off the leaders racing to the turn but steadily faded after three furlongs. UPRISE tracked off the second flight between foes and dropped back early. CAPTAIN FUN broke slowly, was prompted to gain a position off the second flight along the inside racing to the turn but steadily faded into upper stretch. WICKED DUDE ducked out at the start, then bore out to the outside rail racing through the backstretch into the turn, was collected, then corrected course racing into the stretch and displayed some belated interest while proving no factor.
