Maiden Special Weight

Chart notes

TOM COLLINS came away in good order and showed speed, moved clear in the two path on the first turn, was well rated while setting the pace, controlled the action in the two path on the far turn, responded well when asked under threat at the quarter-pole, battled with VINTAGE VINO under a strong hand-ride into the final furlong, shook off that foe when put to a right-handed crop inside the furlong marker, braced for the challenge of the runner-up in the final sixteenth and held determinedly to prevail. DIRAND (IRE) tucked in nicely before the first turn, moved from the hedge to the two path early on that bend, was rated on the outside but with cover, went around most of the far turn in the three path while put to urging, shifted to the four path outside the quarter-pole, chased the leading duo on the outside under a drive into the final furlong, gained to make a bid in the final sixteenth, swapped leads back and forth while drawing alongside the winner and was denied while able to get the place. VINTAGE VINO was hustled from the gate, tucked in while taken in hand nearing the first turn, moved from the two path to the three path early on that bend, tracked the pace on the outside, was given his cue outside the three-eighths pole, chased in the three path on the far turn, gained to make a bid into the stretch, battled outside of the winner into the final furlong and was outfinished while able to get the show. ORGONITE bobbled after the start, dropped from the two path to the hedge very early on the first turn, settled towards the rear, was roused in the two path on the far turn, swung out to the five path into the stretch, moved further out near the three-sixteenths pole and improved to just get the last spot in the superfecta. WICKED IMPROBABLE broke in at the start, dropped back while urged along early, moved from the hedge to the two path very early on the first turn, settled on the outside, was roused in the three then four path on the far turn, turned into the stretch in the six path and gained but failed to menace. PROFOUND was sent from the gate then taken in hand, traveled around the opening bend in the two path, was reserved towards the back, shifted from the hedge to the two path on the far turn, was roused outside the five-sixteenths pole, angled out in upper stretch and lacked the needed kick. YOUR LORDSHIP (GB) was taken under a tight hold early then tugged keenly on the bit, raced in the three path on the first turn, was reserved outside under tight restraint but with cover, rounded the far turn in the three path while let out, spun into the stretch in the four path and lacked the needed response. ROGER ROGER settled on the inside, was roused near the five-sixteenths pole and also lacked the needed response. INTO INSPIRATION showed early speed on the inside of the winner, was taken back along the hedge on the first turn, settled down the backstretch, was roused while saving ground on the far turn and came up empty.
