Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

WATER WITCH, pulling hard against restraint while being reserved behind the second flight racing through the chute, was guided to the rail nearing the first turn, continued along the inside through the backstretch, saved ground on the far turn gathering momentum, came through inside the leaders to challenge for command leaving midstretch and prevailed in time under firm handling. LIBERTALIA, forwardly placed stalking just outside the pacesetter in the opening half, was urged to wrest command midway through the far turn, moved away to a clear advantage racing into upper stretch but couldn't fend off the winner's bid. REAL GOOD VYBZ broke readily, was urged to the lead near the inside racing to the backstretch, was headed racing through the far turn, weakened in the drive but kept on well enough to prevail for a share. STARSHIP MACYS, shuffled out of tight quarters just after the start, settled well off the leaders, saved ground through the far turn to upper stretch and continued with interest to gain some position. TEA'S DREAM was rated off the second flight between foes in the opening, was prompted to make brief progress racing into the far turn but came up empty in the drive. MISSPOKEN settled outside rivals dropping off the second flight racing to the backstretch, continued three wide between foes on the far turn but offered no rally. MAGIC MIKAELA settled outside foes racing to the backstretch, was caught five wide entering the far turn, continued four wide through that bend and never seriously menaced. MAARTY'S DILEMMA settled last racing to the backstretch and proved no threat. REDZILLA angled to the inside in early stages stalking just off the pacesetter under firm rating in the opening stages but steadily faded racing into the far turn. DIAMOND ROCK tracked the leaders outside foes just behind the second flight racing to the backstretch, was caught four deep racing into the second bend and quickly gave way.
