Chicago Handicap – Grade III
7 Furlongs Dirt Stake Purse $100.000 Filly & Mare 3 Year Olds And Up.

1st Sweep Clean, trained by Manco Segundo

For once work times and the form book meant something as this classy four year old
strode to a fairly effortless victory by two lengths. Go to the lead from the wide
which is to be expected she set a good but not cut throat pace and was far too strong
throughout. She has really come to herself this season and whilst this was just a 4
runner handicap i think she is destined for better things.

2nd Here Come Love, trained by Mb Stables
Went straight to the stalk but found very little in the closing stages ending up where
she started in second. A decent enough sort she just seems to lack a touch of class.

3rd Blarney Bee, trained by Smokey Stover
Broke into third and got a bit closer at the end but was never really better than that.

4th Earthly Gran, trained by Drabfantasy
Went to the trail but always lacked the speed to get into the race and was a disappointing
fourth. She may be better over a mile plus.
