Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

DANCIN' DEPUTY had a slim advantage while pressed inside down the back straight, battled outside for the lead into the turn, put away the early pace foe by the five sixteenths marker, spurted away from the closing in rival when encouraged right handed at the furlong marker and comfortably glided in for the win with an impressive front running score. HEEZESPEEDY had a good position watching the contesting duo on the outside through the turn, took closer order gaining on the leader to pose the only threat at the top of the stretch, was repelled by the winner at the eighth pole and was kept to the task late to best the rest crossing the line. YODDHA travelled three wide in the second flight three furlongs from the line, was urged to go at the quarter pole to be in the mix of things in the three path turning for home, posed no threat to the top two in upper stretch but did battle on to be a clear third at the wire. HARPER CITY was tucked in on the rail spotting the front three down the backside, angled outside off the tiring co-leader in midturn, battled on the fence for the show money in upper stretch but could not find more late finishing on the wrong lead to settle for a minor role in the end. BROTHER BELEN settled in the three path close to the back of the pack in the early going, began to pick up rivals four wide on the outside through the turn, swung out to the six path for the drive and ran on willingly to the wire passing runners to the finish. AUTUMN'S SO FLASHY was unhurried trailing down the backside, made little impression travelling three wide between horses running around the bend and could not get involved down the lane. COMMANDER AT SEA was steadied when in tight quarters behind and between runners with seven sixteenths to go, lost ground when shuffled into the turn, regrouped on turn making a mild run but levelled off in the final sixteenth. IT'S ME MARIO travelled in midfield on the rail in the beginning, was coaxed for more shifting out three wide at the three furlong marker, offered no response and failed to menace driving to the finish line. EL BANDOLERO broke out brushing the gate at the start, stalked near the back down the backstretch, saved ground seeing the field on the turn but could not make any headway and had nothing to show in the stretch run. HARD RELOAD pressed the issue inside down the back straight, dueled up front on the rail into the turn, gave way to the frontrunner midpoint on the turn and backed through the field on the fence at the quarter pole.
