Chart notes

FIRST EMPRESS was allowed to back out of the speed duel early then angled out up the backstretch and made a three wide bid on the turn on her own had a good lead in the stretch and won under mild urging with plenty to spare. GIRL THIRSTY was along the inside then swung four wide entering the stretch while closing ground drifted in through the lane and was no match for the winner. VARSITY FLYGIRL was quickest into the first turn held the inside throughout while being pressed on the outside held tough when challenged and continued well after being overtaken but weakened late. MARY ALICE showed good early speed to battle for the lead two deep held gamely to the top of the stretch and then gave way. BRIGHTEST raced three to four wide in the early stages and then dropped back and was not a factor.
