Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

NOT SO SWIFT was away alertly getting the early lead from the gate, patiently was reined back to let the inside rival who was wanting the front to go ahead at the five eighths pole, contently sat off the leader outside down the backstretch, shadowed the pacesetter outside throughout the turn, moved in three wide in upper stretch, switched leads taking command leaving the furlong marker and won impressively, going away in the late stages. AMI'S CRY travelled on the outside of a rival watching the lead pair along the backside, continued outside three wide holding her own through the turn, shifted to the four path appearing to have stalled slightly in upper stretch and with an outside rallying rival closing in found another gear late and dug back between horses in deep stretch to nail the place share right at the finish line. LET'S BE FIRST was away slowly on the break, quickly recovered under a hustling ride to take command on the fence by the five furlong marker, rolled along up top through the turn, fought on stubbornly with the winner bearing down outside at the top of the lane, could not go on at the furlong marker giving way up top and faded between rivals in deep stretch to just save for the show money in a tight picture. EASTER SUNDAY GIRL stalked near the rear three wide along the backstretch, began to smartly pick up runners three wide moving well outside at the quarter pole, shifted out having a clear run in the six path at the top of the lane and was closing in strongly late but was just denied for the place share when losing a tight three way runners up photo at the wire. IMPERIAL TRICK was nestled on the rail keeping a close eye on the top two rivals in the early stages, kept pace under a vigorous ride on the fence around the oval, was in the hunt scraping paint at the top of the stretch but had little left for the drive and yielded inside runners at the furlong pole. RIGHT BRIGHTLY veered in sharply at the start, had a stalking role ahead of only another poor starter along the backside, made little impact going around the turn and while six wide managed to show some interest to the wire passing tired runners late on the outside. CLOSING APPEAL was settled on the fence in mid-pack down the back straight, came under a ride inside horses but made little progress around the turn, angled out to the four path for the drive to the wire but showed little in the stretch running. BLAZE OF MISCHIEF was fractious prior to the start, settled in midfield three deep outside foes in the early going, shifted to the fence saving ground midway around the turn, angled to the two path straightening for home but had no finish to offer in the stretch drive. FROMTHEWONDERLAND was away slowly on the break, trailed the field when entering the backstretch, lost touch with the group running around the bend and galloped down the lane to cross the finish line well behind the others.
