Chart notes

MILLIE GIRL broke in at the start, settled between runners near the rear down the backside, started to commence her run two wide between foes three furlongs from home, weaved her way through horses at the quarter pole, was in range of the dueling leaders in the four path turning for home and burst past runners in deep stretch closing strongly at the wire to just get up for the stretch rally. ANGELOU took control inside from the start, set a modest pace while hounded outside down the backstretch, continued stubbornly up front setting the fractions on the final turn, repelled the first challenger outside in upper stretch, found more when asked right handed in mid-stretch to keep the inside rival at bay but gave way to a strong closing winner near the wire in an extra game front running performance. IL MALOCCHIO was brushed outside to begin, tucked in nicely on the rail behind the front duo on the first turn, rated kindly down the backstretch nestled behind the leaders, took closer order on the fence around the final bend, loomed on the rail at the top of the lane, was battling inside, inching closer coming to the wire but needed more late to pose a threat. MOUFFY was brushed inside at the start, was under a snug hold in the two path behind the front pair in the first turn, tracked the top two running between horses down the backstretch, rallied three wide at the quarter posing a threat by the time they hit the lane, was repelled by the frontrunner in upper stretch, continued to stubbornly finish up to the wire but settled for a minor role when crossing the line. EPHRATA (GB) stalked near the rear inside on the first turn, settled in a rhythm in mid-pack inside down the backstretch, coaxed for run on the rail three eighth from the line, shifted outside four wide for the stretch drive and ran on mildly to the finish line. SARATOGA VISION was pushed in on the break, co-trailed on the outside down the back straight, made little headway on the far turn and ran on willingly passing runners down the stretch. DEVIL'S BIT tracked outside four wide in the beginning, settled four deep in midfield down the backside, was roused three wide three furlongs to go putting in a brief run outside runners, had a chance for a small share in the five path at the top of the lane, could not sustain the run and was one paced to the wire. WHIMSICAL DANCE was checked mildly at the start, co-trailed on the inside down the backstretch, kept pace with rivals while saving ground on the fence in the final turn but could not offer a finish on the rail driving to the line. SOUPER HOITY TOITY tracked the front pair three wide into the first turn, continued to have a good position outside watching the front two down the backside, was asked for to go three wide outside runners three eighths from home, could not find more on the far turn and yielded between foes at the quarter pole. TAMARAMA (GB) pressed the pace outside on the first turn, was content to sit just outside the pacesetter down the backstretch, was hard ridden between horses but could not match strides with foes starting a run in midturn and backed through the field at the quarter pole.
