Chart notes
ASCENDANCY took back off of the contentious early pace and settled inside of a rival into the first turn, was unhurried through the backstretch run, was given her cue leaving the three-furlong pole and loomed two wide nearing the quarter marker, collared ANTHONYS CLEOPATRA in upper stretch, drew to a clear lead at the furlong marker and pulled away in the final stages. TWILIGHT EMPIRE was unhurried in the early running, settled outside of a rival and raced three then four wide into the backstretch run, maintained that four wide path into the far turn, gained ground nearing the quarter marker and came three wide for the drive, continued to advance approaching mid-stretch, could not keep pace with ASCENDANCY in the final furlong and was outkicked, while clear of the rest for second. ANTHONYS CLEOPATRA was asked to show early speed leaving the break, engaged with TAM'S LITTLE ANGEL and dueled through fast fractions into the backstretch run, continued to battle on the front end with that rival to the half-mile marker, shook free along the second turn, was collared by ASCENDANCY in upper stretch and chased that rival to the furlong grounds, yielded in the final furlong and was outfinished for second, while holding clearly in the end for third. CLOCKSTRIKESTWELVE settled off of the quick early pace, maintained a two wide path through the backstretch run and into the far turn, swung widest and came five wide into the stretch drive, was not able to impact the leaders in the stretch and passed tiring rivals in the final furlong. BUYBACK was forwardly placed while outside of rivals into the first turn, tracked the rapid pace through the backstretch run, raced two then three wide to the quarter pole, could not muster the needed response in the stretch and gave way. SMOOTHLIKEBUTTAH was allowed to settle in the early running, saved all of the ground through the backstretch run, trailed into the far turn, was coaxed along two wide into the stretch and did not factor in the drive. TAM'S LITTLE ANGEL broke alertly and was sent to the early lead, engaged with ANTHONYS CLEOPATRA soon after the break and contested the pace with that rival along the first turn, dueled through fast fractions along the backstretch run, lost ground to ANTHONYS CLEOPATRA along the far turn, dropped back in the stretch and faded in the final stages. NAUGHTY NADINE (GB) tracked the rapid pace from the inside, raced closest to the dueling pacesetters through the backstretch run, lacked a response along the far turn and tired in the stretch.
