Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

BRAMBLE BUSH was rated off the second flight while caught a bit wide to the backstretch, advanced to terms with the leaders when making a sharp move wide into the second bend, disputed the issue in that path into upper stretch and prevailed in time under firm handling. FANTASTIC RAFAELA rated off the second flight along the inside in the opening half, came around a rival nearing upper stretch advancing on the leaders, split foes just off the inside and narrowly prevailed for the place honors in time. NEW WAYS TO DREAM tracked just off the leaders to the backstretch, gained terms with those foes three deep racing into the far turn, resisted the winner's bid past midstretch but was outkicked by the top pair. STARSHIP BELMONT, forwardly placed tracking just off the pacesetter in the opening half, was urged to bid for command between foes racing through the far turn, dueled past midstretch and faded late. CECI'SAPRILHOTTIE settled outside foes in the last flight racing to the backstretch, then split foes three deep nearing upper stretch to improve her position. MORENA DANCER settled between foes in the last flight to the backstretch, swung out to race four wide between foes nearing the lane but had no closing bid. RAHTID was a brief factor inside foes tracking just off the pacesetter but faded after a half. SOLDAT TEMPTATION settled between foes in early stages, was fanned five wide nearing the lane and proved no threat. LA MAGNOLIA, urged to the lead along the inside racing into the backstretch, emptied out on the far turn. KINGDOM'S SPIRIT dropped out early.
