Chart notes

XIGERA showed speed on the inside of a foe then was taken off the pace before the first turn, tracked the clear leader in the two path, ranged up on the far turn, was asked while taking the advantage into upper stretch, kicked clear inside the three-sixteenths, was given one light tap of a down-turned crop just inside the furlong marker, widened under a hand-ride, swapped back to her inside lead at the sixteenth-pole and proved much the best while eased up late. JUSTIFIABLE BELLE settled in a good position on the inside, moved closer on the far turn, was asked at the quarter-pole then swung out into upper stretch, bumped with CANDLE near the three-sixteenths, pursued the winner under a drive into the final furlong and proved no match while clear for the place. CLEVER JOKE hit the outside of the gate hard at the break and dislodged the jockeys left-iron briefly, spotted the front a few lengths, dropped well behind early, went around the first turn in the two path, lagged at the rear, was roused in the two then three path early on the far turn, moved to the four path later on that bend, came five wide into the stretch and just got up for the show. MO SHIRO went three wide around the opening bend, settled by herself in the middle of the field, started the far turn in the two path, shifted four wide while moving closer at the five-sixteenths then was roused and lacked the needed response then just missed the show. LA VITA SOFIA was taken up when put in tight by FOREVER DIXIE early, swerved in shortly thereafter then moved in, saved ground around the first turn, settled off the pace, was urged along passing the half-mile pole, came under stronger encouragement in the two path on the final turn and failed to rally. CANDLE bobbled outward at the start then bumped solidly with an opponent, settled on the outside while traveling in the three path, was given her cue on the final turn, bumped with a rival while in good striking range in upper stretch, chased into the final furlong and capitulated. WAND bumped solidly with a foe at the start, was coaxed along early then urged into the first turn, saved ground near the back of the field, was roused in the two path into upper stretch and failed to threaten. MADEMOISELLEJACKIE broke in and brushed the gate, was taken up when FOREVER DIXIE dropped in front early, settled in the two path, was urged along around the final turn, spun three wide into the stretch and failed to respond. AKAYLA (IRE) was taken in hand while squeezed back in tight between foes early, went three wide on the first turn, settled on the outside, was roused three wide on the far turn then driven four wide into the stretch and failed to threaten. FOREVER DIXIE was hustled from the start then angled in quickly and bothered foes, reached the inside into the first turn, showed the way with a clear advantage, was asked coming to the quarter-pole, lost the advantage at the three-sixteenths and faded.
