Maiden Optional Claiming

Chart notes

PRIMA tracked the frontrunner outside down the backside, chased the pacesetter in the turn, began to close in on the leader in mid-stretch and determinedly found more between runners in the final furlong to get up just before the wire for the hard earned victory. HOLIDAY IN JAIL sat alone in midfield down the backside, began to pick up runners two wide outside foes at the three furlong pole, posed a threat in the three path straightening out for the drive and gamely battled with rivals while on the wrong lead in the stretch to the finish line. DESTIN NIGHT took control clearing from the outside to lead comfortably on the rail down the back straight, continued up top setting the pace around the bend, was clinging onto the lead on the fence at the eighth pole, drifted outwards under left handed urging driving to the wire at the seventy yard pole and faded late to be a clear third at the line. ROYAL RIBBON stalked near the back on the rail in the early going, took closer order in the third flight running easily in the turn, shifted outside gaining momentum four wide at the quarter pole, was in range outside of the leaders at the top of the stretch and ran on mildly to the wire to settle on the fringes. NIKITA'S GEM dwelt at the start spotting the field many lengths down the backside, caught up to the field, actually passing a rival outside at the quarter pole and finished up well down the stretch with all things considered from the poor start. MRS. HOT SHOT stalked near the rear down the backstretch, made little progress on horses through the turn and was not a presence in the stretch drive. SILENT PASSION tracked the leader on the inside down the back straight, was asked to keep up on the fence three furlongs remaining, offered little run and backed away on the rail through the turn and galloped across the wire.
