Chart notes

POETICA rated behind the front-runners, waited along the inside on the turn, roused at the quarter pole and snuck through leaving the bend, took over at the top of the stretch, cleared with a furlong remaining under mild urging and was lightly coaxed to the wire. ESSENTIAL BUSINESS set the pace inside SHE'S RESILIENT, showed the way two wide through the turn, leaving too much room for POETICA to challenge from inside past the quarter pole, lost command at the three-sixteenths pole and stayed on for a clear second. KRISTI'S TIGER trailed into and around the bend in the two path, showed a mild response when called upon and got up for the show. AMERICAN LILY steadied early, stalked three wide into the turn, challenged three to four wide with a quarter mile remaining but flattened out in the furlong grounds. SHE'S RESILIENT pressed the pace from outside, could not stay with the leaders late on the turn and weakened in the lane.
