Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

VEHEMENTE coaxed from the gate, settled five then four wide just off the duel up front, took over when ready nearing the quarter pole, swung four wide into upper stretch widening away, came under a drive nearing the eighth pole and went clear under a light drive and then got lightly hand urged through the final seventy yards with the outcome in no doubt. TOWER TWENTY TWO got bumped at the start by BELLA LUNA MIA, who broke inwards, chased three to four paths off the inside down the backstretch, tucked to the two path placed to coaxing at the half mile pole, swung six wide into upper stretch, proved no match for the top one while offering up a mild bid to secure the place honors. AWESOME ROBERTA coaxed from the gate, chased four then three wide coming under a ride from the five-sixteenths, angled five wide into upper stretch, kept on to secure the show honors. BACKWATER chased five to six paths off the inside down the backstretch before tucking to the two path through the turn, came under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths, spun two to three wide into upper stretch and kicked on belatedly to the finish. NOTMYSTEPPINGSTONE coaxed from the gate, dueled three to four paths off the inside with O K TO DANCE to her inside, tucked to the two path through the turn coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, spun two to three wide into upper stretch displaced from the front and weakened in the stretch. OLIVIA'S WISH chased along the inside down the backstretch and then two to three wide through the turn coaxed along from the three-eighths, angled out seven wide into upper stretch and offered no response. DEAR JOHN chased just off the inside down the backstretch and then three to four wide through the turn ridden along from three furlongs out, angled four to five wide into upper stretch and stayed on one paced through to the wire. INFASTUATION chased along the inside under a ride from the three-eighths, angled out four wide into upper stretch, weakened. O K TO DANCE dueled just off the inside and then along the inside with NOTMYSTEPPINGSTONE to her outside, came under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths, yielded the front with five-sixteenths to go, took the inside route into upper stretch and tired. BELLA LUNA MIA broke in at the start bumping TOWER TWENTY TWO, took the overland route chasing six to seven paths off the inside down the backstretch and then five wide through the turn, went six then five wide into upper stretch and tired.
