Chart notes

MERCY WARREN set a pressured pace along the inside, disposed of her outer harasser nearing the far turn before MIRTH 'N MERRIMENT offered a bid with seven sixteenths to go, sparred with that one turning for home, shook free in upper stretch and held sway. GUANA CAY laid off of the pace along the inside, pursued from a bit off of the rail around the far turn and stayed on to gain place from an outer rival in the final sixteenth. MIRTH 'N MERRIMENT tracked three wide, bid outside of MERCY WARREN into the far turn, vied two wide turning for home, but was turned away in upper stretch, weakened and lost place to an inner rival late. LA TOURISTA lagged behind early, moved out of last in the five path while turning for home outside of a pair of rivals, then failed to menace thereafter. TOO PRETTY pressed outside of the pace setter, but failed to sustain pressure approaching the far turn before getting outmoved by an outer bidder, chased the top pair from the four path around the far turn and continued to fade between horses nearing the lane.
