Chart notes

PADMA hustled from the gate, chased just off the inside coming under light coaxing near the quarter pole before being set down angled three wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive rallying to collar the embattled top pair a sixteenth from home, then prevailed edging away at the end while in hand through the final seventy yards. ROYAL POPPY hustled from the start, prompted the pace of SPUN SPECIAL to the outside while three wide down the backstretch before advancing to engage in head to head combat tucked to the two path through the turn lightly coaxed along, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, dug in under a drive continuing the fracas with SPUN SPECIAL when overtaken by the top one a sixteenth out, then battled on to the finish inching away from her main pace rival late to safely secure the place honors. SPUN SPECIAL coaxed from the gate, showed the way in hand just off the inside under pressure from the aforementioned foe to the outside, had that rival advance further and tucked to the rail now dueling inside of ROYAL POPPY, remained patiently handled until let out taking the inside route into upper stretch, dug in head to head to the sixteenth marker when overthrown from command by the top one, then kept on clear of the rest to preserve the show honors. OCCULT four then three wide in pursuit, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, angled four wide into upper stretch and weakened. BELLA MICHELLE coaxed from the start, chased along the inside under a ride from the five-sixteenths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and weakened in the drive. BULSARA coaxed from the gate, chased just off the inside under coaxing from three furlongs out, angled five wide into upper stretch and made no impact. CANDY STRIKE coaxed from the start, chased five then four wide under a ride from the five-sixteenths, cornered four wide at the top of the stretch and folded.
