Maiden Special Weight

Chart notes

ROMANTICA broke outwards on the start, settled alone in the third flight around the turn, shifted out five wide extending her stride at the top of the lane, threaded the needle with three sixteenths to run, bursting between foes for the lead and was kept to the task left-handed late to hold safe for the win. ROYAL ASCOT broke inwards on the start, was gathered up to trail in the beginning, travelled inside near the rear with three quarters to go, began to go by runners inside three furlongs out, angled out with five sixteenths from home, was stuck in the seven path behind horses in upper stretch having no room, finally had a clear lane six wide at the eighth pole and closed smartly late to take the place share. NANTUCKETS DAY stalked in the third flight between foes along the backstretch, took closer order tracking the front threesome around the bend, angled outside six wide to be in the hunt turning for home, was bumped slightly in upper stretch and chased the winner home in the final furlong to settle for the show award at the wire. MIDSUMMER MO was allowed to settle at the rear getting to the rail with three quarters left to run, began to uncork a rally passing foes on the fence three furlongs out, was gathering good momentum inside turning for home, shifted outside to the two path going by the early frontrunner at the three sixteenths marker, moved into second briefly at the sixteenth pole but stalled late and settled for a minor role at the finish. SHAKSHUKA sat just behind the leader on the rail down the backside, continued to comfortably watch the front three around the turn while nestled on the rail and finished up willingly in the two path to the wire. IDYLLIC was on the outside in the second flight down the backside, kept pace with the lead trio going three wide on the turn, swung out to the seven path for the drive to the wire and was one paced through the stretch. ENGLISH JUBILEE settled near the back of the pack three deep outside horses, made little headway three wide throughout the turn, angled out widest in the nine path for the running down the lane but failed to fire at the furlong marker. LEMON SWEETS chased the frontrunner down the backside, moved in to vie between horses for the lead three furlongs out, briefly had her head in front in upper stretch, could not match strides with others closing in and yielded in mid-stretch. QUEST TO BE PROUD stalked between horses near the back in the early stages of the race, could see the field two wide entering the turn and passed tired runners in the stretch. MOMUNNYFOR RO broke in a tangle to begin, settled alone in mid-pack down the back straight, made no progression three wide around the bend and could not get interested in the drive to the finish line. ENCOURAGEACHOTHER was brushed inside on the break, seized control soon after the start, was headed outside three eighths from the wire, fought on until upper stretch, had nothing left to offer and faltered on the rail with three sixteenths left to run. MCKENZIE ROAD broke sharp to lead early, tracked the pace outside three deep down the backstretch, closed in to bid three wide outside foes, three furlongs from home, battled between runners in the five path in upper stretch, could not continue on and stopped by the furlong marker.
