Chart notes

JODY'S PRIDE pressed the pace of MIA MARCELA from the outside in the three path, advanced to duel with that rival midway on the turn and took over a narrow advantage near the five-sixteenths, got set down spinning just off the inside into upper stretch, went clear under a drive to prevail. MIA MARCELA coaxed from the start, established the front shortly after the break and showed the way lightly coaxed along in the two path under pressure from JODY'S PRIDE to the outside, dueled with that rival midway on the turn and was headed for the front with five-sixteenths to go, cut the corner into upper stretch and weakened in the late stages. SOLVE THE PUZZLE hustled from the gate, chased four then three wide coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, angled five wide into upper stretch, improved position to secure the show honors. LYRICAL PARDON hustled from the start, chased two to three wide under coaxing from the seven-sixteenths, continued two to three wide for home and weakened. SUGAR N SPICE coaxed from the gate, chased four to five wide coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, swung three to four wide into upper stretch, tired. TAP THE KEG leapt up at the start and then outwards getting away last and conceding three lengths to the front before settling into stride, chased along the inside coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and made no impact.
