Chart notes

PORTAGE coaxed from the gate, dueled from the two path with FANCY AZTECA to the inside, took over sole command at the five-sixteenths, spun three wide into upper stretch, edged away under a drive to the eighth pole, dug in and held safe to the finish. TONED UP chased just off the inside coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, swung three wide into upper stretch, closed well to secure the place honors. CUPID'S HEART chased four to five wide coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, swung six wide into upper stretch, had SWEET MYSTERY attempt to nudge her outwards and denied the move holding her rightful lane at the three-sixteenths, then offered up a mild kick to secure the show honors. MONGOLIAN PANTHER chased three then two wide coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, angled five wide into upper stretch, weakened in the late stages. SWEET MYSTERY stumbled at the start, came under coaxing and chased two to three wide down the backstretch and then four wide through the turn under coaxing from the three-eighths, angled five wide into upper stretch, attempted to lean and nudge out CUPID'S HEART near the three-sixteenths and was denied the move and then bumped the back of that rival before tipping out behind her and offered no kick. FANCY AZTECA coaxed from the gate, dueled inside of PORTAGE from the get go coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and weakened. SA FORADADA three wide in pursuit, came under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths, swung four wide into upper stretch and tired. MIA BEA STAR chased three to four wide coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, made no impact. PURE PAULINE broke out at the start, chased along the inside coming under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths, went seven to eight wide into upper stretch, faltered and was eased home to the finish. There was a Jockey's Objection by the rider of SWEET MYSTERY alleging interference against CUPID'S HEART in upper stretch which was reviewed and dismissed prior to the result standing and the race being declared official.
