Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

TANZANITE LILY rated kindly three deep watching the lead trio while outside two others down the backstretch, was urged for more four wide outside of rivals in midturn, began to pickup the bit circling foes by the quarter pole, posed a threat in the six path cornering at the head of the lane, stormed on past with conviction taking control leaving the eighth pole and easily opened up in the late running, going away impressively for the win when crossing the finish line. CLOSING APPEAL exchanged brushes with the inside rival on the break, sat outside another in midfield along the backside, crept up around runners going three to four wide through the turn, swung out widest in the seven path having clear run in upper stretch, was no match for the overpowering winner in the final eighth of a mile but closed in belatedly to best the rest for a distant runners up share at the finish line. SERIOUS GREEN travelled in the second flight with runners on both sides, edged up on the turn by the quarter pole, shifted out three wide at the top of the stretch and finished up willingly just missing out battling for the place share inside at the wire. SHE'S SO CROATIAN emerged from the scramble up front to get a head advantage between foes by the five eighths pole, inched away from both early speed rivals by the five sixteenths marker, had a clear lead spurting away momentarily two wide turning for home, offered no resistance when the winner powered past outside leaving the final furlong and faded on the rail in the last seventy yards to hold for a minor share in the end. FEDOROVA was nestled on the rail tracking the front threesome down the backside, kept pace with the lead duo on the turn taking the shortest way around, hugged the rail in upper stretch but could not get involved finishing up one paced in the late running. NOYZEE GIRL dueled with horses on each side down the back straight, chased the frontrunner outside but to no avail around the oval, still remained in the mix for a piece of the prize four wide at the top of the stretch but had little left late and yielded by the furlong marker. RELOAD BABA was brushed by the outside foe on the break, pressed the issue three deep in the early going, could not keep up to the front pair while three wide on the outside at the three eighths pole, shifted out five wide between rivals straightening out for the drive but lacked a rally down the lane to the wire. RYO AMAZING stalked near the rear in the two path with horses on either side down the back straight, made little impact inside another through the turn, shifted out in the four path for the drive to the wire, moved back inside to the rail with a furlong remaining but failed to menace in deep stretch. BROWN BUTTER SAGE stalked close to the back three deep outside of horses, continued a three wide journey making no movement around the bend, angled out six wide turning for home but could not factor in the later stages. CANADIAN FORCES had the rail while sitting in mid-pack, steadily retreated through the field saving all the ground around the bend and had nothing more to offer on the fence in the stretch drive. STARRIOT was away slowly trailing the field, stayed at the rear bearing out considerably throughout the turn and cantered home well behind rivals in the stretch running.
