Maiden Optional Claiming

Chart notes

RATINGS UPGRADE (IRE) was unhurried trailing the field in the early stages, started to make a rally circling runners four wide at the quarter pole, continued outside in the seven path gathering more speed at the top of the lane, switched leads finding more in mid-stretch and edged away for the win under only a hand ride a few jumps before the finish line. STARSHIP SERENITY stalked outside horses going four deep down the back straight, offered a three wide move following a fellow rival circling around horses in the last turn, shifted to the six path for the drive to the wire, had aim on the leader with a furlong to go and battled determinedly between foes to the finish line but was denied for the win with the winner slightly getting the better of her in a close finish at the wire. KEYTOTHEPARK settled three wide in midfield on the first turn, continued three deep outside foes with little progression along the backside, cruised around rivals three wide through the turn to bid for the lead by the quarter pole, seized control moving well four wide in upper stretch but could not find more late and was unable to fend off the late outside closers a few strides before the wire settling for the show money at the wire. ABINO BAY was brushed on the outside at the start, settled in the middle of the pack inside rivals down the backside, shifted out finding a seam two wide between horses at the quarter pole, angled out in the six path having a clear lane for the stretch drive and finished up willingly to be a fringe player in the end. YORKTON ROSE travelled between rivals in mid-division, rated kindly waiting to move behind a wall of runners battling for the lead two furlongs from the wire, angled out four wide turning for home and could only finish up one paced losing the duel for a minor share inside runners in deep stretch. SERENADING KITTEN had the rail in a stalking position in the beginning, closed the gap between challengers in the two path with the field very compact having a quarter mile still to run, shifted six wide straightening out for the drive in tight having to be checked in upper stretch and had little to show afterwards in the late running. MOBULA broke inwards on the start, used the inner post to take this field on the rail around the first bend, was well in hand loose on the lead down the backside, had company coming to her outside at the quarter marker, relinquished the front inside runners at the top of the lane and weakened further by the eighth pole. MCKENZIE ROAD was nestled on the rail behind the leader early on, was nudged along keeping pace with the front group waiting for running room on the fence through the far turn, scraped paint having clear run on the rail in upper stretch but lacked a rally down the lane inside runners. FAULTFINDER travelled four wide watching the lead three around the first of two turns, took closer order three deep in range of the frontrunner by the half, was scrubbed on for more bidding up top three wide between rivals with a quarter mile remaining but could not continue on late and tired by the furlong marker. OUTFORARIP tracked the leader outside in the beginning turn, continued to keep a close eye on the frontrunner down the back straight, was hard ridden in the mix between rivals in the two path up top through the last turn but came up empty just off the fence in upper stretch.
