Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

NAUGHTY DESTINY was under a snug hold taking command on the fence midway along the backside, opened up while in hand slowing the tempo down throughout the turn, was well in control on the rail in mid-stretch and held sway prevailing on the front end by a diminishing margin at the wire. DANCIN MARY MARIE had a good spot on the outside in the second flight, started to get into gear when nudged for run midway around the bend, posed the only threat just off the fence straightening out for home and was gaining steadily at the furlong but it wasn?t enough to get to the winner at the finish line. SERIOUS GREEN stalked in the early going having rivals on either side, began to lengthen stride edging up between foes at the five sixteenths pole to be in the mix three wide at the top of the lane and finished up willingly to be a non threatening third in the end. HYPER HOLIDAY settled close the the back, having only one runner beaten in the early stages, made little impression around the bend, angled to the six path gathering momentum and ran on willingly outside rivals to be a fringe player when crossing the finish line. NOYZEE GIRL was situated in midfield, three deep outside challengers down the backside, made little progression going outside foes three wide in the running around the turn, had a chance for a piece of the prize between horses in the four path at the top of the stretch but could only finish up one paced through the lane. SWEET VALENTINE advanced inside of horses along the backside, stalled with the run shifting outside at the five sixteenths pole, angled out to the three path in upper stretch and lacked a rally on the rail in the final furlong of the stretch running. REALLOVEISLUCKY travelled in the three path, unhurried at rear down the back straight, continued at the back end going three wide making little impact around the oval, swung out widest in the six path at the top of the lane and passed weary runners outside by the sixteenth pole. CRUMLIN BEACH broke a step slow seeing the field at the start, improved on the fence down the backside to track the front two inside another at the half, took the short way around the turn keeping pace, had to be throttled down for a few strides lacking running room coming up to a tiring rival at the quarter pole, hugged the rail turning for home and had little to offer inside runners down the lane. NO LAYUPS pressed the pace inside until the half mile marker, chased the frontrunner on the fence but was losing ground at the midturn point, had little left for the drive to the wire and wilted in the two path in upper stretch.
