Maiden Special Weight

Chart notes

FORT NELSON coaxed from the gate, showed the way briefly before being displaced from command by SUBITO, pressed that rival from the outside four paths off the rail down the backstretch and then just off the inside through the turn, swung three to four wide into upper stretch, got shaken off a furlong out, dug in coming again near the finish and was up in the final jumps to gamely prevail at the end. SUBITO got bumped at the start by WORTHY CHARGE who lunged outwards at the break, advanced to take over the front near five and a half furlongs to go knocking heads briefly with FORT NELSON before taking sole command, showed the way in hand along the inside facing pressure from that barn mate to the outside, came under coaxing near the quarter pole, took the inside route into upper stretch, edged clear under a drive to the eighth pole, dug in under growing threat once more when staying on his left lead greenly through to the finish despite the rider's efforts to get him to switch and was caught in the final jumps. WORTHY CHARGE lunged outwards at the start bumping the aforementioned foe and conceding three to four lengths to the front before settling into stride, chased four to five paths off the inside down the backstretch and then three wide through the turn coming under encouragement at the three-eighths marker, went six wide into upper stretch and offered up a mild kick kicking on belatedly to the wire. APALTA broke out at the start trading a bump with SHADOW BANKING, who veered in, chased three wide under urging from the five-sixteenths, angled five wide into upper stretch, kept on under a drive to secure the last major share well clear of the rest. GOOD AS HE GETS bobbled at the break conceding two lengths to the front, chased six to seven paths off the inside down the backstretch and then three wide through the turn coaxed along from the seven-sixteenths, angled five wide into upper stretch and passed tired rivals. GAMEBRED stumbled at the start conceding three to four lengths to the front before settling into stride, chased three to four paths off the rail down the backstretch before tucking to the inside half a mile from home, came under urging at the seven-sixteenths, tipped out five wide at the head of the lane and tired. SHADOW BANKING veered in at the break trading a bump with APALTA, who broke outwards, chased four to five paths off the inside down the backstretch facing kickback and shying from it a bit, tucked to the two path into the turn, came under coaxing with seven-sixteenths to go, continued just off the inside into upper stretch and tired. ONEPAC chased five then four wide from just off the pace coming under urging three furlongs from home, faded nearing the quarter pole and went seven to eight wide into upper stretch, then faltered in the drive while flashed the crop to the right side. REBELLIOUS TYPE coaxed from the gate, chased six to seven paths off the inside down the backstretch and then five wide through the turn ridden along with seven-sixteenths to go, cornered five to six wide into upper stretch and made no impact.
