Maiden Special Weight

Chart notes

CATTRALL broke inwards but was quickly corrected at the start, assumed command in hand up top in the early stages, had the rail moving well within herself dictating the pace around the oval, opened up when called upon for more at the furlong more, did not switch leads throughout the drive and still held safe for the frontrunning score at the wire. BOUNCE BACK was brushed by the outside foe on the break, settled in the four path sitting in mid-division fighting the riders restraint down the backside, ranged up three wide narrowing the gap around the bend, angled to the five path very much in the mix at the top of the lengthy lane and had a solid late charge in the final eighth of a mile but just could not get to the winner at the finish line. ANY OSCAR sat in the middle of the pack while five deep outside foes, kept pace and position while travelling four wide around the bend, moved out to the seven-path straightening out foe the stretch drive, kept grinding away and finished up willingly outside in the late going getting up for the show money. WORLDLY CHARM trailed the tightly bunched group at the five eighths pole along the backside, saved ground seeing the field through the bend, swung out widest in the nine-path gathering momentum turning for home and stormed on home with an impressive late turn of foot in the final eighth of amile to get up outside at the wire to be a fringe player. HOPE IS A BREEZE chased the frontrunner outside down the back straight, continued to go after the leader actually getting on even terms on the outside with five sixteenths from the finish, could not keep up to the pacesetting winner inside midway down the lane and faded inside horses in deep stretch just getting picked up outside losing a minor placing. KARAT GOLD sat five deep close to the back end in the early stages, tried to circle around runners going four wide on the bend but making little headway, moved to the seven path at the head of the lane and showed some late interest passing some tiring foes in the final furlong. MATOAKA was forwardly placed being situated between horses in the three path in midfield, closed the gap outside another on the turn watching the contesting pair, battled for the show award inside at the top of the stretch but could not continue the run and stalled by the furlong marker. SUNDAY FINERY settled in the three-path close to the tail end inside two others rivals midway along the backstretch, improved for a brief moment two wide on the turn taking closer order at the three eighths pole, shifted to the four path in upper stretch but could not get into contention between runners in the late going. FROM TIME TO TIME stalked close to the back with runners on either side, came under a drive going three wide on the turn making little progression, moved to the five path for the stretch run but lacked a rally between foes in the drive. WINNING JEWEL broke out at the start, improved on the fence to actually for the pace inside at the five eighths pole, had to be checked in tight getting shuffled back with many outside rivals bearing in heading into the turn, travelled in mid-pack around the bend, had the fence hear the rear at the top of the stretch and could not get involved. CRAZY BUSY (JPN) was content sitting just off the leader inside down the backstretch, sat poised on the rail through the turn watching the front dup slug it out, skimmed the fence well within striking distance turning for home but came up empty inside of horses in the stretch drive.
