Chart notes

BLESSED ASSURANCE raced within contention, took the lead at the head of the stretch, drove clear and won under steady urging. BITSY PERFECTMATCH raced within striking distance, made a late bid, proved no match for the winner, but was a clear second. TONI'S M raced near the middle of the field, made a wide bid, proved no match for the top two, but got up for show. CRYSTAL D'ORO lacked early speed, made a late gain and was outfinished for show. GRACE HAZEL raced within contention, made a bid and hung down the lane. MALLORY UNBRIDLED raced near the back in the early part, improved position, came around the turn wide and was no factor. R T'S CAJUN LADY vied for the early lead, drove clear around the turn and faded. TRIPLE THE GOLD broke poorly and was never a threat. REQUITE THE EFFORT shot to the front and made a steady retreat. EULA'S GIRL always raced near the back and showed little. LONG SHOT LOUISE raced in the middle of the field and dropped to the rear.
