Chart notes

MINK'S PALACE tracked from midpack in the three path, split foes five wide entering the lane to take aim on the leader, bid at the furlong grounds, edged ahead entering the final sixteenth and held. LEMON MUFFIN broke slowly and leaned inwardly at the start, saved ground off of the pace, shifted six wide in midstretch and offered a late kick to reach place at the wire while running out of ground to reel in the leader. CANDY LOVER stalked in the three path, bid at the three furlong pole, led turning for home, but was collared by an outer bidder at the furlong grounds, got bested entering the final sixteenth and was nailed for place. CRUISE MISSILE leaned outwardly at the start, prompted between the top pair early on, but was herded inwardly by his outer counterpart at the nine sixteenths pole, pressed two wide and between horses under urging into the turn, then sustained a rail chase through the lane. FIGGY pursued from the two path and ran on between horses. UNION MIST broke a step slow, raced off of the pace two wide, gradually shifted five wide coming to midstretch and chased evenly between horses. JUST A COED rushed forward to prompt along the inside, but lost action when put to tight rail quarters by outer rivals at the nine sixteenths pole, tracked in the three into the turn, took aim four wide entering the lane but gave way between horses. SPEIGHTER WOMAN chased in the four to five path around the turn, floated six wide entering the lane and gave way. IN JUST MY HEELS was outrun. BERNAR MOSA lacked speed in the five path and faded in the six path around the turn. MOENCHANTED broke slowly and drifted in multiple paths at the start, trailed along the inside into the turn and made little impact. QUIMICHIS took brushes from rivals on both sides at the start, showed the way outside of a pair of rivals shifted inwardly without being clear at the nine sixteenths pole, drew clear into the turn, but was headed by an outer bidder at the five sixteenths pole and stopped.
