Maiden Special Weight

Chart notes

PASS THE CHAMPAGNE perched herself four wide while stalking outside of foes down the backstretch, inched forward into the turn to vie for the lead outside of FRONT STREET while in the three path around the bend, forged an advantage from that foe approaching the three sixteenths pole, drew off in upper stretch with ANOTHER WOMAN in pursuit, and safely maintained a margin from that foe to the wire. ANOTHER WOMAN tracked from midpack in the five path around the turn, commenced a rally turning for home while shifting down to the four path, then sustained her advance in chase of PASS THE CHAMPAGNGE through the lane, and pulled away from the rest of the field while proving second best. FRONT STREET set the pace along the inside, showed the way while staying in the two path and encountering heavy pressure from PASS THE CHAMPAGNE around the turn, but was headed by that foe approaching the three sixteenths pole, yielded in upper stretch, then held show to the wire while tiring. TEMPER MINT TWIST stalked two wide and from between horses early on, but was roused to keep position passing the half mile, failed to do so and faded to midpack into the turn, took the bend in the four path, then stayed on mildly for a minor share. CHAMPAGNE SALUTE broke subtly outwards, stalked three wide and from between horses early on, then two wide behind the pace setters into the turn, but failed to keep pace with those rivals at the five sixteenths marker, and kept on. GIGI B. rushed to be forwardly placed along the inside, chased the leaders while shifting off of the rail in upper stretch, but faded late. VIDA YELLOW lied far off of the pace in the two path around the turn, swung to the five path entering the lane, and improved on her left lead without threatening. SIBAAQ lagged behind the field into the turn, came into the lane in four path while still trailing, and improved past tiring foes. SHE'S A SHOO IN got crowded from an inner drifting rival and steadied soon after the start, lied off of the pace in the two path around the turn, and failed to factor. MIA AT MIDNIGHT lied off of the pace in the four path around the turn, got floated to the six path entering the stretch, and faded.
