Maiden Optional Claiming

Chart notes

RELOAD EH was unhurried stalking close to the back outside foes early on, advanced sharply in hand three deep on the outside of runners along the backside, rallied with a smart turn of foot swooping around horses three wide at the five sixteenths pole and while in the three path found her best stride late to just get up under a well-timed move for the win at the finish line. TOP OF D MOUNTAIN had the rail position in mid-division in the beginning, continued inside runners in midfield but was lacking running room at the half, shifted outside mounting a rally with a quarter mile to go and was full of run four wide down the stretch but just could not get to the winner in time. NAUGHTY DESTINY was hustled setting a brisk pace loose on the lead in the beginning, had problems navigating the first turn going five wide up top, slowed the tempo down along the backside, dictated terms still unchallenged around the final bend, spurted away well in control at the top of the stretch, began to get leg weary in the late running and faded in the final seventy yards to settle for the show money in a tight finish at the wire. MISS BOUJEE got the worst of it being forced out ten wide into the first turn, continued to move forward circling horses around the turn, advanced smartly four deep down the backstretch to watch the leader outside rivals by the half, chased the leader through the final bend and finished up mildly in the two path settling on the fringes in the end under a game effort considering the circumstances. CLOUD RIDER was one of many horses compromised on the first turn going seven wide, settled in the third flight outside rivals into the backstretch, dropped back by the half, made little impression through the far turn, swung out widest in the seven path turning for home and still manged to finish with good interest in the stretch running. AINT NO GIRLY GIRL was trouble-free nestled on the rail watching the pacesetter into the turn, tracked in the third flight inside another down the backstretch, took the short way around the last turn holding her own, retreated slightly caught behind a tiring rival briefly at the quarter pole, shifted out three wide at the head of the stretch and finished up one paced dueling for a minor role. MALIBU BETTY had a poor start to trail the field in the beginning, still remained at the rear outside rivals through the backside, made no impact just off the rail on the last oval and could not get involved three wide down the lane. CRUMLIN TROUBLE was pushed out six wide by the pacesetter in the initial turn, chased the frontrunner along the backside, was no match unable to keep up to the lead duo at the five sixteenths marker while taking the short way on the last turn and wilted on the fence by the furlong marker. ROCK HARD ROSE was forced out nine wide between rivals in the first bend, improved from mid-pack along the backstretch three deep to track the lead pair by the half, was scrubbed two wide midway on the turn trying to hold forward position and while in the four path in the stretch drive had little finish to offer. TALLAWAH broke out on the start to stalk near the back in the early stages, made little gain on rivals on the fence around the final bend and failed to menace in the two path in the stretch running. ARCTIC BLONDE settled in midfield between runners, regressed outside horses running down the back straight, could see the field while under urging at the five sixteenths pole and could not get into contention in the drive to the wire.
