Maiden Optional Claiming

Chart notes

THAT'S NOT NICE was rated in the middle of the pack along the inside, swung five wide at the quarter brushing into INNSENSE, sustained a rally down the lane while flopping leads to be up at the sixteenth and firmly held off the late oncomer. COASTAL BEAUTY settled off the pace two wide, swung to the outside of the stretch to form an impressive rally but was repelled by the winner. SHE'S SLICK settled off the pace, impressively navigated through traffic in the stretch to get up for the show award. AVALON BEACH was off swiftly and opted to sit close up before the turn, continued to give chase along the inside of the turn and upper stretch, shifted out three wide at the eighth pole but got out-finished. SO ANGELINA found position not too far behind the pace, shifted along the rail for the turn, lacked late closing kick. SPARKY'S DELIGHT pressed the pace between runners in the early stages, led briefly before the turn yielding to R KAN'T MISS, continued to stalk that runner along the inside until retaking command at the five sixteenths, fought hard down the lane but got swallowed up at the sixteenth. SOUTHERN KISS got bumped out at the start, found the middle of the pack in a three wide position, tipped out five wide turning for home, fought hard in the upper stretch but flattened out late. PERFECT FLOW settled off the pace along the inside, angled out four wide in the stretch to make only minor gains. BAG THE GOLD found a forward position three wide but faded in the stretch. INNSENSE was rated around the middle of the pack in the two path, angled out six wide turning for home and was brushed out by THAT'S NOT NICE at the quarter, came up empty. TERTIA TIME was reluctant to load the gate, trailed for most. R KAN'T MISS broke outward into rival, moved up three wide to take charge at the half mile marker, led under pressure conceding to inner foe at the five sixteenths, faded then on.
