Chart notes

SHEZA GIRLY GIRL reserved while shifting to the inside, saved ground around the turn, shifted out four wide in upper stretch, roused and rallied from outside, surged past inside foes past sixteenth pole and proved best in well-timed trip. STARSHIP DEFIANT forced the early pace, bid early on the turn, gained slim lead later on the bend, was two wide entering the stretch, battled between rivals and held the place late. BIG SHAMROCK set early pace under pressure, dueled from the inside early on the turn, continued inside through the lane but gave ground grudgingly in late stages and missed second. SATURDAY HEIST widest of all chasing the early pace, continued four then three wide to the stretch, loomed outside rivals nearing sixteenth marker but flattened in the late stages. VEGAN reserved early, came out and lightly bumped rival, stalked three then four wide into the stretch and weakened. LA DEUXIEME ETOILE bumped early by inside rival, stalked from between foes, got shuffled and shifted in two wide, was outside winner on the turn but dropped back and weakened. PRECIOUS BABY was off slow, chased from the inside to the turn, came off the fence but lacked needed rally.
