Race Summary

SPUN SUGAR , carried out six wide into the first turn, attended the pace three wide down the backstretch, lodged a bid leaving the far turn, took command mid way on the final turn, turned back a challenge from R LADY JOY in upper stretch and edged away under a drive. R LADY JOY, in tight between rivals into and around the first turn, settled into a stalking position down the backstretch, ranged up four wide into the lane to loom boldly, switched to her left lead near the furlong marker, flattened out but remained clear for the place. PLEASANT CHIMES saved ground while forwardly placed, steadied leaving the four and a half furlong pole, angled out leaving the far turn, chased the leaders into the lane, angled back in but lacked the needed response. RUNWAY MODEL, bumped at the break, saved ground early and failed to respond. PRIVATE GIFT, in tight at the break, lost ground four to five wide nearing the half mile marker, raced in close attendance into the far turn then retreated. MERRILL GOLD had her rider's left rein break soon after the start, drifted out some entering the first turn, was astutely guided back towards the inside nearing the backstretch, was guided by her rider gripping the left side of her bridle, set the pace for six furlongs, remained a presence to the quarter pole, tired and was eased from the three sixteenth's marker.
