Chart notes

MERCHANT OF HOPE took the lead while angling in nearing the seven sixteenths pole and set a pressured pace, increased her lead at the rail on the turn, was steadily handled in the upper stretch then allowed to relax the final sixteenth. RISKSRHIGHPAYISLOW gave chase inside, rounded the turn at the rail, proved no match for the winner, though, held on for second. SENSE OF MUSIC stumbled leaving the gate and settled well back from early contention, started a bid toward the three eighths pole, raced in the six path of the turn and steadily closed to take third the final yards. BASKET GIRL chased through the backstretch, rounded the turn off the rail, angled to the four path into the stretch and finished evenly. LAVELLO gave chase, rounded the turn off the rail then flattened stride inside the eighth pole. BELLA FEMMINA stumbled leaving the gate then gave chase, raced off the rail on the turn and showed little further. BAYOU BOUGIE gave chase and saved ground on the turn. LIL LINDER was not a factor. DAMISELA engaged in close early chase but faded in the four path of the turn. KAROL G came away sharply and chased outside, but was taken back widest on the turn then eased in the lane.
