Maiden Special Weight

Chart notes

MAJIK MOONEY allowed to settle, coaxed two then three wide nearing the top of the lane, angled inside and took command into the final furlong, dug in late and held well in deep stretch to prevail. CASTLE PINES crowded a bit by an inner rival, was well placed while three wide early on, tracked the moderate pace three to four wide nearing the half mile pole, set down to upper stretch, finished well in the late stages and missed for the win, while holding for the place. OVERTIME BONUS broke out at the start, showed good early speed and attended to the moderate pace two wide into the turn, pressed to the half-mile marker then vied for the lead to upper stretch, battled three wide into the lane, was outfinished in the final sixteenth but held safely in the end for the show. APRIL FOOLS off slow then crowded at the start, trailed to the turn, advanced between rivals into upper stretch, was caught in traffic into the final furlong, angled out into deep stretch but couldn't muster the needed late response. YALTA forwardly placed early on while outside of rivals, coaxed four then five wide nearing the half-mile marker, swung widest to upper stretch then couldn't find the needed response to the final sixteenth. SMOKE TRAIL a bit slow into stride away from the gate, settled in the second flight, chased from the two path nearing the half-mile, lacked the needed response at the furlong marker and flattened out late. RUPP showed good speed from the gate and took early command, set a moderate pace into the turn, showed the way to the half-mile marker then led while off of the rail into upper stretch, dug in approaching the final furlong, couldn't hold off oncoming rivals in deep stretch and faltered late. POP AND LOCKE off a bit slowly to begin, settled while saving ground to the turn, kept an inside path to the half-mile marker then saved all of the ground to upper stretch, couldn't find more at the furlong grounds and failed to threaten late.
