Chart notes

PATTY H was away alertly from the outside post, disputed the pace on the outside then in the two path on the turn, took the lead at the quarter-pole then was put to a drive, dueled inside of the runner-up to the wire and gamely prevailed under strong urging. EASY TO BLESS settled outside in the second flight, moved out outside the half-mile pole, went three wide on the turn, was given her cue coming to the five-sixteenths, made a bid outside the quarter-pole, dueled outside of the winner in the stretch and just missed while well clear for the place. POLISHED GEM was well positioned just off the pace, chased while moving from the inside to the two path on the turn, swung four wide into the stretch under the crop, dropped back into the final furlong and weakened while able to get the show. GREATEST LOVE leaned out at the start and broke a step slow, settled off the pace, was roused two then three wide on the turn then driven five wide into the stretch and came up empty. KANDY GINGER was hustled from the start, contested the pace down the backstretch, vied along the rail while inside of the winner on the turn, dropped back into upper stretch and tired. MALIBU LUNA bumped with a foe at the start while off a step slow, settled on the outside, went around the turn in the two path and was no factor. RIDING ON A WINNER bumped with MALIBU LUNA at the start then was taken up early, settled at the rear, shifted from the rail to the three path early on the turn, moved out in upper stretch and also was no factor.
