Maiden Special Weight

Chart notes

AMANI'S IMAGE took up a position tracking the leaders outside a rival from just out of striking distance racing through the backstretch into the turn, tipped out three wide midstretch to split foes in the closing stages, then wrested the advantage and went clear under firm left handed pressure. ILLOGICAL LOVE broke sharply, switched well off the rail racing past the chute to dictate the pace on a narrow advantage, maintained that margin racing in the two path into upper stretch but proved no match for the winner while narrowly prevailing for the place honors. SWEET DUTCHESS angled to the inside tracking the leaders as part of the second flight, was urged along saving ground through the turn to gain position inside foes late but was just outkicked for second. GWENDOLA settled last near the inside racing well off the leaders to the turn, gradually closed the gap nearing upper stretch, angled out five wide in upper stretch, was fanned to the six path avoiding a drifting rival but continued with a belated effort to close the gap while just missing for a share. STANDUP COMEDIENNE was urged prompting the pacesetter from well off the inside racing into the turn, continued in the four path into upper stretch, then drifted out in the closing stages while steadily faded from contention. ROMA MONA made brief pursuit of the leaders in the four path on the backstretch but retreated early.
