Chart notes

WICKED MERCURY was part of the quintuplet tracking the front two leaders at the half, pounced smartly three wide taking control at the quarter pole, opened up convincingly in upper stretch and was kept to the task to win going away at the finish line. KITTEN'S ROMANCE could see this compact field down the backside, angled out in hand three wide moving boldly around horses at the quarter pole, posed the only threat in the five path at the top of the lane but could not reel in the winner who had lots left through the stretch. GIZMO'S B F F watched the front pair between horses down the backstretch, could not maintain position and was shuffled back at the seven sixteenths marker, angled three wide in upper stretch, found her best stride late and closed in to win the battle for third in a photo. LOIS LEN sat behind the front two between foes in the three path down the backstretch, lost positioning with horses on either side around the turn, recovered five wide turning for home and showed good late energy fighting for third money down the stretch, just missing in a photo at the wire. CEFALO tracked the top two on the rail down the backstretch, rated kindly behind the early pacesetter waiting for room behind foes on the turn, shifted out off the tiring leader at the quarter pole, battled gamely on the fence to the wire and just lost the duel for the show award. BLAZING SKY was five deep on the outside on runners having one rival beaten at the half, offered a brief run five wide outside rivals at the three eighths marker until the to of the lane, was in the mix turning for home but flattened out nearing the sixteenth pole. SILENT GUROO took this field down the backstretch, opened up mildly on the field in midturn, was collared outside by the winner at the quarter pole, offered no resistance and retreated on the fence in mid-stretch. LADY IN RED prompted the pace outside down the backstretch, chased the pacesetter on the turn, could not find more midway on the turn, was engulfed at the quarter pole and nothing to offer in upper stretch.
