Maiden Optional Claiming

Chart notes

DRAW BOOT was away alertly clearing to the rail loose on the engine down the backside, maintained a slim advantage inside slowing the pace down around the bend, scraped paint fighting inside up top at the head of the lane, was well rationed having something left when spurting away once again at the eighth pole and won going away in the end. CELESTIAL HEART was unhurried near the rear, began to reach for more ground passing three outside rivals at the quarter pole, angled to the four path in upper stretch, found his best stride late and closed in to best the rest for the runners up share in a three photo at the wire. PRINCE ALMASTY kept a close eye on the leader outside in the early going, took closer order to shadow the pacesetter outside throughout the turn, moved in to bid six wide getting a head in front for a moment drifting out at the top of the lane, shorten stride being no match for the winner by the furlong pole and faded slightly in deep stretch while on the wrong lead to get nabbed ;ate for the secondary prize in a photo. AUDI'S WORLD was bumped on the inside at the start, travelled in the three path watching the lead pair along the back straight, sat in the second flight outside of another waited to pounce on the turn, had to angle out seven wide with the inside runner getting out turning for home, shifted inwards to the four path by the furlong marker but stalled slightly in the late going to lose a three way picture for the place share in the end. BERTHA was part of the trailing foursome while nestled on the rail, advanced smartly on the fence by the half, sat poised inside a rival watching the contesting duo on the bend, had the two path in the mix for a piece of the prize in upper stretch but flattened out by the sixteenth pole. BALTIC SEA was situated in mid-division while three deep at the half, travelled four wide outside of horses going the wrong way through the turn and could not make any impact in the three path in the drive to the finish line. BACK STREET DRIVER was in tight soon after the gates opened up to share the back end while in the three path between horses, made little impact in the running around the turn and in the five path had little to offer in the stretch drive. METRO KING broke outwards on the start, settled just off the fence near the rear in the beginning, had the fence in midfield by the half, was under a ride travelling only evenly on the rail through the turn, moved out three wide for the drive to the wire but wilted inside of horses in the final furlong. HOT POTATO was shuffled back outside of horses to be last in the field by the half, labored behind the group under a busy ride on the turn, lost touch with the pack by the top of the stretch and galloped on in.
