Chart notes

CALYPSO GHOST advanced inside rivals early on then emerged in a duel to the inside of LITTLEBITALILY leaving the five eighths marker, alternated for the lead with that one around the turn, got away a bit past mid stretch then was fully extended under left handed asking to prevail. LITTLEBITALILY sped to an early lead then was joined from her inside nearing the five furlong pole, would not let the winner shake clear past the eighth pole and battled back gamely to just miss. LEAKY CAULDRON dropped in early in and rated off the leaders, edged up into the turn, gave hard chase past the five sixteenths, angled out into the lane and kept on willingly to slowly bridge the gap. CONGRESS HALL , in range early while off the rail, angled in around the turn, moved back out for the drive and closed steadily. FUDGE CAKE bobbled at the break, recovered and was sent up between foes to chase, shifted four wide in upper stretch and continued with interest. FAIRY WISH , soundly bumped at the break, raced off the pace, came three wide for the drive and rallied mildly. SARAH'S TREASURE lagged inside, swung very wide into the lane and had belated action. SHAKE D MOON rated inside past the three eighths, eased out into the lane, altered back in, moved up some in mid stretch then flattened out. MAVILUS gave hard chase three wide early on, continued under pressure mid turn, shifted five wide and gave way. LADY FOX , sluggish from the gate, was ridden four wide outside rivals leaving the three eighths, angled wider into the lane but failed to generate a solid run. NOTION INTERRUPTUS drifted in at the break and bumped FAIRY WISH, raced off the pace and between foes mid turn and lacked a bid. GRACE ISABELLA broke outward, raced four deep with early pursuit, failed to kick on past the five sixteenths and faltered. PETES PRIDE , three wide between rivals mid turn, faltered.
