Chart notes

MIDNIGHT BELLA prompted the pace in the four path, was driven around the far turn and took aim in the three path entering the lane, and edged past the inner pacesetter in the final sixteenth to win. SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT bumped with an outer foe at the start, set the pace in the two path, was coaxed around the far turn and urged right handed along the rail into the stretch, responded well and dug in but was caught by an outer rival late to place. FRANKIE'S GIRL bumped with an inner foe leaving the gate and had to steady early, trailed in the three path down the backstretch, was ridden around the far turn and angled out to the five path into the lane, drifted out into the final furlong, and ran on late for show. LUCKY PERIDOT stalked in the three path, was roused along the rail around the far turn and in the two path entering the stretch, but was short of room thru the stretch, and evened out late. PEACE SEEKER tracked in the four path early but dropped back to last around the far turn and was no menace.
