Chart notes

JEFF'S ANGEL broke inwards bumping JEWEL OF WINTER while also exchanging some contact with MISSPOKEN, was righted quickly, then angled to the rail racing through the chute to track just off the second flight to the backstretch, saved ground through the far turn, switched out, then swung four wide leaving midstretch and produced a solid closing response to just wrest the advantage in time under strong handling. JUDGE JUDITH broke readily, sped to the lead along the inside racing to the first turn, dictated the pace on a narrow advantage to the far turn, turned back a rival's challenge while shifting out racing into the stretch to regain a clear advantage nearing the furlong marker but just failed to contain the winner. LIBERTALIA, restless in the gate prior to the start, was urged to a forward placing tracking just off the pacesetter, moved to press the issue outside that foe racing through the far turn, was carried out to the three path while failing to match that foe in upper stretch but kept on in that path between rivals to close the gap while prevailing for a share. MAGIC MIKAELA angled to the inside tracking just off the leaders racing to the backstretch, advanced along the rail racing into upper stretch but was outkicked by the top trio. MISSPOKEN bobbled, then exchanged bumps with the eventual winner at the start, was righted to track the leaders outside a rival in second flight racing to the far turn and steadily faded into the lane. RACHEL DREAM angled inwards in early stages to track off the second flight between foes, was bumped midway through the backstretch by MALIBY SKY and offered no rally. A TOUCH OF SPADGET, reserved inside foes racing to the backstretch, never gained contention. MALIBU SKY, held up between foes in the last flight racing to the backstretch, shifted inwards after a half making contact with RACHEL'S DREAM and had no closinge response. JEWEL OF WINTER hopped at the start, then was bumped by the eventual winner losing position at the start, settled outside foes in the last flight racing to the backstretch and dropped out early.
