Maiden Optional Claiming

Chart notes

FUNNYFLAME stalked along the inside before moving to the two path entering the backstretch, ranged up to bid outside of the leader turning for home, kicked clear in upper stretch, then flopped back to his left lead in the final furlong with the deal sealed. DROBNY set a clear pace, met an outer challenge turning for home, proved no match in upper stretch then safely lasted for place. VERY SATISFACTORY pursued from midpack along the inside, then in the two path around the far turn, brushed with an outer rival while looking to split foes in upper stretch, ran on between horses to gain show passing the furlong grounds and narrowly held from an outer bidder. DOUBLE NEAT lacked speed in the two to three paths, swung to the seven path in upper stretch, moved up but missed reaching show. HOPE JOE'S RIGHT settled three wide, fanned to the six path entering the lane, exchanged contact with an inner rival at the three sixteenths pole and leveled off between horses. ROUSSETTE stalked two wide, pursued from the two path around the far turn sustained a chase through midstretch but yielded in the final furlong. SPINNING HEART tracked two to three wide, drifted about bumping with an outer rival and in inner foe at the three sixteenths pole, then lacked a bid. SIR EXTON pursued from midpack two wide, cut the corner turning for home, but steadied once blocked behind rivals in upper stretch, and failed to menace. SHARP STRIKE pranced outwardly and brushed a foe at the start, trailed around both turns and made little impact. NOW IMA BELIEVER was brushed by an inner foe at the start and was slow to recover, laid off of the pace along the inside, steadied passing the three furlong pole and never got involved. EL ALACRAN tracked along the inside and weakened.
