Chart notes

LADY ACES well placed behind the top pair, bid outside midway around the turn, gained command at the quarter pole, drifted in and bumped rival in upper stretch then drew away. GINJA broke in a bit at the start, went up to duel from inside, cleared SWEET SOULMATE then fought with LADY ACES the rest of the way through the turn, got bumped by that rival in upper stretch and was clearly second best. OPTIMAS tracked between rivals then angled in near the half-mile pole, traveled along the inside then angled three wide into the lane, drifted inward in the drive and held the show. HIGH CON tracked widest up the backstretch, went four wide through the turn, drifted inward in the stretch and could not find more. RUBY'S ORCHID was off slow to begin, trailed the field from inside to the turn, remained along the fence into the drive and made no impact. SWEET SOULMATE dueled for the lead from outside, could not keep pace around the turn and weakened in the stretch. PUSHINGUPDAISIES chased three wide into the turn, moved into the two path then came three wide into the stretch and came up empty.
