Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

THIRSTY KISS, reserved off the second flight three deep racing to the first turn, shifted inwards on the backstretch continuing under rating, switched outside foes on the far turn , advanced four wide into upper stretch, then rallied to the front in time under firm encouragement. UNTOLD STORY, urged to the lead along the inside, dictated the pace to the far turn, resisted several challenges racing past midstretch but was collared by the winner nearing the wire. CYBER MONDAY, off slowly, settled well off the leaders to the backstretch, swung out five wide entering the stretch and continued willingly. ARIES REIGNS was rated between foes in second flight to the backstretch, angled to the inside entering the far turn, steadily gained position along the rail to late stages but was outkicked for a share. GRUNDER, pulling against restraint while shifting well off the inside racing to the backstretch racing as part of the second flight, made some brief progress three wide between foes into the stretch, steadied out of tight quarters leaving midstretch and had no further response. FLY WITH CLASS, reserved near the back of the field in the opening quarter, switched outside foes to make a sharp advance to contention three deep after a half, pressed the pacesetter on the far turn, then drifted out nearing midstretch while abruptly giving way. BIG PETE was rated off the second flight along the inside, saved ground to upper stretch but had no closing bid. BOSTON WALLY, forwardly placed tracking just off the pacesetter to the backstretch, tracked the leaders between foes into the far turn and emptied out nearing the lane. LANAKILA, forwardly placed along the rail in early stages, tracked the leaders inside foes in second flight to the far turn and faded into upper stretch. SHUWA FUNGA P proved no factor.
