Chart notes

PUGILIST was rated outside foes in second flight racing to the first turn, angled inwards midway through the backstretch while readily advancing to a position just off the leaders nearing the second bend, awaited an opening racing into the far turn, shifted out to bid for command three deep between foes approaching upper stretch and went clear in late stages under firm encouragement. GENNIE HIGHWAY, reserved near the inside in the opening stages, shifted out entering the second bend steadily gaining position three deep between rivals, angled inwards to split foes just off the inside to bid inside the winner but proved only second best. CLASSY WOMAN tracked off the second flight inside rivals racing to the backstretch, shifted out splitting foes four wide racing through the far turn to advance in tandem with the eventual winner to upper stretch but lacked the needed final kick. ZARINA, reserved between foes while dropping off the field racing to the far turn, swung out six wide in upper stretch and made an effort to improve position. CAFE FLEUR (FR), off slowly, settled along the inside to the backstretch, tipped out splitting rivals just off the inside racing into upper stretch but had no closing bid. HANNAH DANCES tracked off the first flight between foes to the backstretch, dropped out last racing to the far turn, then passed some tiring rivals in the closing stages. ITSAKEYPER, forwardly placed tracking just off the leaders in early stages, bid for command three deep racing into the far turn to gain a narrow advantage nearing upper stretch but emptied out abruptly entering the lane. MARIES MELODY, reserved in the opening stages, switched outside foes racing to the backstretch, was caught five wide racing into the second bend and quickly came up empty. SLIME QUEEN, urged prompting the pace outside a rival to the far turn, gave way nearing the lane. BERNIE'S MISTRESS was urged inside rivals disputing the pace to the far turn and gave way into upper stretch.
