Chart notes

MYSTIC ENCOUNTER broke alertly, took back off of the fast early pace and tracked outside of rivals heading to the half-mile marker, advanced three wide on the turn and pressed the pace to the quarter marker, took command in upper stretch and drew to a clear lead at the furlong marker, was kept to task under steady urging approaching the sixteenth-pole, drew off in deep stretch and was hand ridden to the finish to prevail in an impressive debut. SOO BROOKLYN rated off of the solid early pace, improved position along the turn and raced three wide to the quarter marker, was roused four wide into the stretch and ran evenly to the furlong grounds, was not able to impact the winner in the final stages but stayed on in deep stretch and got up in the final strides for second. ZOE'S PRIDE was a bit slow into stride leaving the start, rushed into contention at the half-mile marker and stalked the solid early pace into the turn, was guided to the rail along the bend, came in tight while blocked behind rivals approaching the quarter marker, tipped two wide into the stretch, could not keep pace with the winner into the final sixteenth, was outfinished in deep stretch for the place and was well clear in the end for the show. JUST SERENE lacked early speed and was a bit green away from the start, trailed into the turn, saved ground along the bend, swung five wide into the stretch, was not able to threaten the leaders in the final stages and passed tiring rivals at the finish. RHONDA'S COOKIN was prominent leaving the start and pressed the solid early pace while outside of SMILIN RUBY, pressed between runners while two wide heading to the quarter marker, lost position approaching the top of the stretch and raced four wide into the drive, was outrun to the furlong pole and came up empty in the late stages. SMILIN RUBY was sent leaving the break and set a pressured pace into the turn, carved out fast fractions from the rail while pressed to the quarter pole, lost the lead in upper stretch, chased to the furlong marker and gave way. SOUTHERN BLESSING was forwardly placed in the early running and tracked the solid pace from the inside, was outrun into the turn, trailed into the stretch and tired.
