Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

DIAMOND STELLAR was settled early, commenced her bid two wide on the turn, took over midstretch and quickly opened up on the rest. MEETMEINSTLOUIE very reluctant to load, pressed the early pace from just outside once the race began, took over two wide on the turn, floated out some entering the lane, was overtaken from inside, midstretch, began to wear down the last eighth but lasted for the place. SOUTHERN ATTACK prominent between horses, closed the gap some three wide on the turn, fanned outside MEETMEINSTLOUIE for the stretch run, failed to have the extra needed in the late going and narrowly missed for second. MAJESTIC RAJ broke inward, showed little speed running toward the outside, lost ground four wide through the turn then lodged a mild bid between rivals in the stretch and was closing in on the second flight in the waning yards. MISS SWAMP TALES chased from inside, came off the rail some on the bend, progressed between foes upper stretch then leveled off in the late going. LITTLEBITOFBLUSKYS hesitated at the start and passed between tired ones. NURSE KATIE also broke inward, was prominent from outside, four then five wide taking the turn then flattened out for the drive. MIA MONEY displayed early speed from inside, was overtaken on the bend and gave way the last two furlongs. BARBIELLO in contention early, faded from inside on the turn and drifted out deep stretch. SUNDAY ATTACK also hesitated at the start, pulled up on the turn and was walked off.
