Maiden Optional Claiming

Chart notes

LIPLOCK was nestled on the rail behind the pacesetter, rated kindly inside down the backside, waited to pounce on the fence midpoint on the far turn, found clear running room three wide in mid stretch and stubbornly fought in the late stages to win the battle for first. MASON'S MUSIC settled in midfield four deep down the backstretch, rallied four wide with five sixteenths to make it a four way battle for the front at the top of the lane and fought to the wire with the winner just getting outfinished by the winner late. DANISH DYNAMITE broke in at the beginning, tracked two wide outside on the first turn, bid just off the fence for the front two furlongs from the finish, was clinging to the lead at the furlong marker but could not hold off the closers and settled for a clear third at the finish line. RAVELLO BEAUTY hopped at the start, stalked five wide into the first turn, advanced steadily outside five deep down the back straight, continued keeping up with the leaders in the five path through the far turn and determinedly ran on to the wire in the six path for a minor share in the end. DADDY'S LEGACY broke out on the start, co-trailed outside of horses down the backstretch, was urged five wide with three eighths to go around rivals making little headway, angled widest seven wide at the top of the lane and showed some late energy passing challengers in deep stretch. HOLIDAY WITH AMY stalked three wide into the first turn, continued near the rear three deep at the half, was roused to keep up on the last turn and passed tired runners to the finish. SAY GRACE travelled in midpack on the rail in the first turn and through the backstretch, was scrubbed on for more on the rail three furlongs from home, made little impact and could not get involved down the lane. KEY STROKE settled near the rear at the back early on, co-trailed inside down the backside, was urged on the fence in the final turn and was one paced to the wire. FOREST VIXEN had a good spot down the backstretch tracking in the second flight three deep outside horses, took closer order through the far turn to bid three wide at the quarter pole, was in the mix for a share straightening out for the drive but weakened in mid stretch. TELLTALE stalked in the middle of the pack just off the fence into the first turn, was ridden between foes trying to quicken with others, offered a mild response and had little to show driving to the finish line. QUICKER TREAT was squeezed at the start, recovered to lead into the first turn, set the fractions up front down the backside, was pushed for more keeping her head in front at the quarter pole, was swallowed up by runners outside turning for home and backed away on the fence through the stretch.
