Chart notes

IM JUST KIDDIN tracked from midpack in the three path into the turn, tipped out to the four path turning for home, rallied in pursuit of HIGHWAY HARMONY through midstretch, ranged up alongside entering the final sixteenth, inconsequentially jumped a set of leftover gate tracks while flopping back to her left lead soon after, but gained an advantage while doing so, and edged clear. HIGHWAY HARMONY was brushed and mildly pushed inwardly by an outer foe while breaking on top, forged a clear advantage leaving the half mile pole, set an unencumbered pace in the path around the turn, inched further away entering the lane, held sway from an outer rallying IM JUST KIDDIN through midstretch, but flopped back to his left lead entering the final sixteenth, and was worn down shortly after. THREE UNIONS raced forwardly along the inside, backed off to stalk the leader at the half mile pole, but required urging to maintain that position around the turn, then kept on through the lane, and held show late. IRISH EMPRESS broke a step slowly before subtly shying from an outer foe at the start, trailed along the inside around the turn, shifted five wide and outside of rivals in midstretch, and stayed on to miss reaching show late. NICE 'N SPICY broke slowly before taking up from tight quarters at the start, tracked while towards the rear two wide, took the turn in the two to three path, tipped to the four path in upper stretch, but lacked a rally. NEVER PERSONAL brushed an inner foe at the start, stalked outside of the leader and from the three path around the turn, but weakened between horses in upper stretch.
