Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

INDIANA ROAD was nestled on the rail just behind the pacesetter, pulled the rider to the lead on the fence at the half, opened up at will travelling strongly around the far turn and coasted home for the impressive score. LOOKHOWPRETTY stalked between rivals in the third tier in the early parts of the race, moved around foes three wide midway on the final turn and chased the winner in vain down the lane to best the rest in the end. TEXENSIS travelled six wide into the first of two turns, was unhurried loping along near the rear along the backstretch, started to run, circling five wide at the quarter pole, angled out widest in the eight-path in upper stretch and ran on willingly to capture third money. HELIOCENTRIC was tucked in on the fence in midfield, advanced on the rail down the backstretch, dueled for the place share while the winner was well ahead on the final turn but faded inside the furlong pole to settle on the fringes. ALL FOR HONOR was antsy in the stall prior to the start, tossed his head and had to be steadied on the break, trailed the field down the backstretch, rallied three wide at the three-eighths marker closing the gap and finished up five wide showing good late energy to pass runners down the stretch. IRON PRINCESS pressed the issue three wide in the first turn, hounded the pace three deep down the backside, was going the wrong way still travelling three wide around the final bend and yielded in upper stretch. ON PARADISE HILL stalked on the outside three wide in the third flight in the early stages, offered a brief run three wide around horses with five-sixteenths from the wire, angled out in the six-path turning for home but lacked a finish down the stretch. RACE DAY CHANCE stalked near the rear on the inside, improved mildly on the fence down the back straight, could not improve around the far turn and was not involved in the stretch running. OUR STELLA had a slim lead in the two-path into the first turn, maintained a narrow margin up front between rivals along the backside, lost the lead at the half, was scrubbed on with little response at the three-furlong pole and backed away through the field with a quarter mile left to run. SHE IS HOPEFUL dwelt on the start spotting the field many lengths, passed a rival going into the first turn, was relegated back to the rear with three furlongs to go, lost touch with the group around the final turn and cantered across the wire.
