Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

OUR LADY PEACE was squeezed on the break to travel in midfield along the backside, shifted out three wide at the quarter pole mounting a run, bullied her way through splitting foes in the four path at the sixteenth pole reaching for more ground and got up in the last stride to get the win right at the finish line under a well-timed late surge. FANNY M broke out on the start, battled outside of a stubborn rival throughout the turn, edged away for the clear lead in the two path at the sixteenth pole but could not fend off the late charge by the winner right at the wire. STERLING HEIGHTS dueled inside up front in the early stages, continued to be unyielding on the fence in upper stretch but gave way grudgingly in the late stages still holding for the show award at the finish line. WEGOTTATALK sat just off the top pair outside down the backstretch, ranged up three wide by the quarter pole to be in the mix in the three path between foes at the top of the lane but could not continue the stretch rally and finished up one paced in the late stages for a minor role. SCARY BOO was roused from the start getting a better forward position angling in down the backside to sit tracking the lead trio while three deep at the half, kept pace while scrubbed on three wide through the turn, was in with a chance four wide at the top of the lane but weakened in the final sixteenth of a mile. CANTUCCINI was checked leaving the chute, co trailed on the inside down the back straight, took closer order to the field by the quarter pole and finished with good late energy gaining on runners in deep stretch. PRIZED SPIRIT broke in on the break, stalked in the third flight between horses down the backside, took closer order around the turn to sit just behind the dueling leaders two wide turning for home, rider lost his crop in upper stretch and under a vigorous hand ride down the lane fought on until giving way in the late stretch at the sixteenth pole. BAYTOWN STORM broke a step slow to begin, was then nudged trying to get a better inside position, improved on the fence down the backside to track the top three on the rail by the half, was hard ridden trying to match strides while inside runners on the turn and wilted on the fence by mid-stretch. BLACK GODDESS was checked early on entering the backstretch to co-trail on the outside, made no progression at the rear throughout the turn and could only manage to pass a weary foe down the stretch. NO MALARKEY was steadied sharply at the eleven sixteenths pole to stalk near the rear outside along the backstretch, made no headway three wide around the bend, shifted out to the four path in upper stretch and was not persevered with down the lane galloping across the finish line in the end.
