Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

ANSELMO settled just off the leaders outside foes mid-division, raced four wide around the first turn, moved up outside foes about five wide midway up the backstretch, had aim on the leader turning for home, struck the lead outside the furlong grounds and kicked clear. OPEECHEE came out a bit after the break, rated in behind the leading group while inside a foe but off the rail in the two to three path, moved out from three to four wide while put to urging on the far turn, came into upper stretch five to six deep, kicked on to capture the place while no threat to the winner. HEART BOY settled at the rear shifting in two wide, lacked room racing at the back inside and in behind rivals, bided time then began to advance while tipping out a bit on the far turn, angled seven wide into upper stretch, was left with far too much to do but got up for show honors without threatening the winner or making late headway on the runner-up. PASSIONPLATE sped clear, set the pace racing off the rail, weakened in the stretch. MANETKA settled at the back three wide, began to move on the far turn while tipping out from four to six wide, angled outside foes in upper stretch eight deep and ran on well but too late. RARE DISCOVERY gained forward position stalking the pacesetter three wide, applied a tad of pressure up the backstretch, lacked the needed late kick. SNOOKERED was forwardly-placed three to four wide stalking just in behind and outside the leading rivals, was close up heading up the backstretch, dropped back some heading to the far turn and shifted in a bit racing two to three wide on that bend, asked for more at the quarter pole, failed to rally. WIKWEMIKONG GHOST was in tight after the break, encouraged along two to three wide between runners early but lacking speed, swung out five wide for the stretch run, failed to menace. DOC FISHMAN was a bit slow to gather, caught four to five wide outside foes toward the back in the early going, failed to threaten. WIN THE DRAW raced off the pace saving ground through both turns, was put to urging three furlongs out but had no response and failed to rally. UNBRIDLED INFERNO cleared the field and shifted in, settled along the rail to track the leader from inside, came up empty.
