Maiden Special Weight

Chart notes

CHARLIE'S TO BLAME sped to the front from inside, took pressure entering the far turn, moved clear again with a quarter mile remaining and drew away under hand urging. MUSCLED rated along the inside, remained under a hold through the far turn, roused entering the stretch, tipped out to take aim at the CHARLIE'S TO BLAME in the drive but was no match for that rival in the final furlong while clearly second best. LEGITIMATE rated in the two path, bid outside the leader with three furlong remaining, could not sustain the challenge with a quarter mile remaining, weakened in the lane but managed to save third. TAPIT DYNASTY stalked in the two path, coaxed along into the far turn, came off the final turn three wide, lacked a rally and could not get by LEGITIMATE for third. POWER PLAY pulled early while moving to the inside, raced near the back on the fence, hugged the rail through the far turn, got put in tight and was forced to check entering the lane and kept on to improve position. COMININALITTLEHOT taken back early, traveled in the two path, entered the lane three wide, angled out at the top of the stretch and improved position. BROSKI (IRE) broke a step slow, settled towards the back in the two path, chased two then three wide on the far turn, shifted in to bother a rival leaving the bend and could not make an impact. MAX N' LOU settled inside, saved ground to the stretch and failed to rally. BAEZA steadied early, settled in the two path, chased between rivals at the quarter pole, went three wide into the lane and failed to menace. IRON (FR) stalked in the three path, weakened two, three, then four wide on the far turn and tired down the lane. STRATEGIST traveled three deep off the pace on the clubhouse turn, continued three deep into the second bend, tired around that turn, eased in the lane and walked off.
