Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

PLAY HARDER hesitated at the break spotting the field a few lengths, quickly recovered and moved up under some coaxing to be in range heading to the half, tracked patiently then knifed his way between rivals nearing the lane, shifted in and bid along the rail to engage the dueling leaders heading to the furlong marker, took command command soon after and edged away while kept to task. ALL THE WAY drifted in at the break and brushed with a rival, corrected and stalked five wide outside rivals, took closer order four wide under coaxing past the five sixteenths, bid to engage the leader soon into the lane, dueled three deep and on a slim lead in mid stretch, could not go with the winner near the sixteenth pole but stayed well to be second best. MINIMO flashed speed then was rated back off the embattled leaders and settled in the clear, came under a ride and circled four wide making progress into the stretch, shifted in while on his left lead in mid stretch, switched over to his correct lead and finished well along the rail. ONE WAY FARRIOR disputed the pace three wide between runners early on, continued to contest the issue between runners past the three eighths, spurted clear near the quarter pole, fought on between runners leaving the furlong grounds then gave way grudgingly. ULTIMATE STRIKE , bumped and in tight at the break, was pushed along off the inside, raced four wide between runners into the lane but came up empty in the final furlong. EYES ELEVEN , bumped at the break, saved ground into the turn, came under asking soon after, angled out approaching the quarter pole, briefly waited in upper stretch, dropped back in some and churned on. DUBAI FIRE broke inward and bumped with a rival, rushed up soon after and disputed the pace inside foes, stayed on to about mid stretch then gave way. SIMON'S CHOICE , off the pace between foes, circled four to five wide into the lane but lacked a bid. ARMED AND READY lacked speed inside, angled seven wide for the drive and failed to threaten. TORTOLA lagged back off the inside, angled seven to eight wide in upper stretch but failed to menace. RYE DIGGITYDOG , bumped at the break, was sent up four wide between runners, forced the issue between foes mid turn then gave way in upper stretch. RETURN FIRE had speed between foes, rated back off foes, saved ground pursuing then tired past the five sixteenths.
