Chart notes

BIG MAMA SUE tucked inside on the first turn, moved out into the two path and went outside a rival nearing the far turn, angled four wide into the stretch, came out further in the lane, closed widest and cleared late. VAROMA traveled three then four wide around the first turn, remained off the rail and came three wide into the stretch, bid between rivals approaching the final sixteenth and got up for second. ST HELENA went two then three wide around the clubhouse turn, stalked from outside, bid three deep a quarter mile out, drifted inward while putting a nose in front in upper stretch, led into deep stretch but could not fend off the top pair. DANCING DANA vied outside a rival into the first turn, cleared and took the rail around that bend, got pressured briefly on the backstretch before inching clear again, vied with a pair of rivals leaving the far turn, lost the lead in upper stretch and weakened late. SIMMER DOWN reserved in the two path, angled to the inside for the far turn, shifted back to the two path around the bend and never threatened. FRAZZLED showed early speed from inside then was in tight and steadied early on the first turn, switch off the rail and was rated outside the leader, put in a mild bid between rivals at the quarter pole but flattened out in the stretch. DELTA GAMMA CATS broke inward at the start, saved ground through both turns and tired.
