Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

ROMANTIC DANCER leaned out and brushed a foe at the start, stalked outside of rivals tucking from the five path to the three path into the turn, bid outside of the leader passing the five sixteenths pole, drew clear handily in upper stretch, got let out at the furlong grounds and inched further away under little urging. CHICA ARMA tracked along the inside, brushed with a troubled outer rival into the turn, shifted to the three path and between horses turning for home, tipped to the four path to find clear racing room entering the lane and ran on to gain place at the furlong grounds. PRINCESS POM POM took light contact from an inner rival leaving the gate, showed the way in the four path before tucking down to the two path into the turn, met an outer challenge with five sixteenths to go, proved no match for that bidder in upper stretch, gave way yet safely managed show late. KENTUCKY STARLET broke a step slow, saved ground well back around the turn, moved forward inside of rivals in upper stretch and sustained progress to gain fourth late. EVOCATION pursued from midpack in the four to five path, but lacked progress through the lane. TWO LUCYS broke a step slow, raced off of the pace while hung in the five path, shifted inwardly in upper stretch then failed to menace between horses. STAGFLATION lacked speed in the four to six path and improved while hanging on her left lead. CHARM OF THE SONG laid off of the pace in the three path, spun into upper stretch in the five path and failed to factor. RUNAWAY KITTEN was slow into stride, trailed in the four path into the turn, moved to the six path into upper stretch and made little impact. COMPUTADORA tracked two wide and among rivals, steadied when put to tight quarters and subtly shuffled back by a faltering foe into the turn, shifted three wide into the lane, then was put to cramped quarters again by an outer rival in upper stretch and gave way. FOXY ZORRA prompted along the inside, came under urging while chasing close up behind the leader into the turn, checked inside of that one at the five sixteenths pole and folded between horses in upper stretch. ITOOKDAMONEYHONEY prompted in the three path and between horses for a quarter mile, but faltered into the turn, quickly wilted between rivals around the bend and was eased through the lane.
