Maiden Special Weight

Chart notes

BOCA QUEEN (IRE) hopped slightly on the break, settled in mid-division between foes along the backside, ranged up three wide at the three eighths marker, had a quick turn of foot shifting out at the quarter pole in the seven path, with a full head of steam pounced to the lead by the furlong pole and drew away with authority in the late stages. PRINCESS JADE was near the rear ahead of a couple of slow starters down the back straight, began to smartly reach for more ground finding her stride at the three eighths pole closing the gap on the leaders, could not find a seam six wide when entering the stretch, had clear run midway down the lane, could not get to the winner late but did have a strong run in deep stretch to best the rest for the runners up share at the finish line. MEW N ME had a good position nestled on the rail watching the front duo down the backside, continued the inside trip sitting just behind the engaged pair throughout the turn, saved every bit of ground darting past the early leader in tight on the fence at the three sixteenths pole and determinedly kept on trying right to the finish when surging late to be a clear third at the wire. CELEBRITY RO stalked close to the back of the pack outside another, made no improvement just off the fence throughout the turn, shifted out with five sixteenths to go forcing the outside rival wide at the top of the lane, had to wait for a moment losing her path seven wide in upper stretch, got into gear weaving through runners at the furlong marker and finished up with good energy between horses late to win the duel for the minors. SCAT GIRL was away a step slow to be only ahead of the other poor starter down the backside while on the rail, shifted off the fence with a half mile to run making little headway, was pushed out widest in the eight path starting to make a move in upper stretch, kept on grinding away passing many rivals by mid-stretch and just missed outside for the battle for a minor placing at the wire. RARIFIED (IRE) chased the pacesetter outside down the backstretch, moved in to bid outside up top by the five sixteenths pole, continued to duel three wide up front straightening out for the long drive, poked her head in front for a fleeting moment at the three sixteenths pole but flattened out with rivals on either side in the last sixteenth losing a couple of placings just before the wire. VINTAGE RING stalked near the rear on the outside ahead of a couple of runners down the backstretch, made an early move shooting past rivals three wide at the half mile pole, continued to circle horses in the six path to be in the conversation at the top of the lane, could not sustain the long rally and gave way between horses by the furlong pole. MY EMMY veered in on the break, settled on the fence in midfield in the early going, was on hold behind rivals at the half mile marker on the bend, had a chance for a piece of the prize in the two path just behind the leaders turning for home but had little to give late and wilted on the fence with a furlong still to run. MOBULA cleared to the rail setting the pace along the backside, was collared outside with five sixteenths from the wire, dug in around the turn to still be clinging onto a slim lead in the two path turning for home, could not continue on with others making a rally outside and yielded in mid-stretch. LOVE YOU MORE had a good start from the outer position to be forwardly placed three deep watching the lead trio outside, tracked the engaged duo while between horses around the bend, was in the mix four wide just behind the leaders at the top of the stretch, could not find more late and folded by the furlong marker. LET'S GO SOUPER was squeezed on the break to trail the field down the back straight, lagged behind while taking the short way around the turn, continued to save ground skimming the fence in upper stretch, drifted out under left-handed encouragement at the furlong marker but never could be a factor in the running.
