Maiden Optional Claiming

Chart notes

BRAQUET stalked from outside, advanced three then four wide on the turn, bid past the eighth pole taking a narrow lead, dueled to the wire and got the nod. SAUCY NAME exchanged minor contact at the start, was forwardly-placed very early then taken back and eased off the leading pair, stalked those into the turn, moved three wide into upper stretch in striking distance, bid between near the sixteenth pole, missed. MOMUNNYFOR RO bumped the outside rival lightly at the start, settled mid-pack, came out from three to five wide on the turn, was six wide into upper stretch, gained steadily but too late. MAXIMUM FIFTY was lightly bumped at the start, forced the pace from outside, moved in from three to two wide into the turn and spurted clear coming past the five-sixteenths, was challenged in mid-stretch and yielded soon after. GO GIFFEN settled off the pace, moved out from four to eight wide on the turn, came out a further path or two in upper stretch, was flying in the end but too late. ARCTIC BLONDE hit the gate, settled in the back half of the field, was outside foes into the turn, continued to move out on that bend and into upper stretch, gained mildly but needed more. FEDOROVA settled off the pace, saved ground inside, came out three wide at the top of the stretch, ran on. SCAT HUMOR got away slowly, was outpaced early, saved ground through the turn, steadied in behind foes and altered course seven wide coming to the furlong grounds, kicked on mildly late. FRAC AMOUR chased from inside up close off the leaders, moved out four wide turning for home, lacked the needed late kick. OUR STELLA dropped back outside lacking speed, was forced out nine wide turning for home, failed to rally. KID GIZMO exchanged a light bump at the start, contested the pace from inside, gave way. SILENT PRINCESS chased going two wide through the turn, dropped back, tired.
