Chart notes

MUSICAL CAT pressed the pace on the outside up the backstretch, continued around the turn in the three path and kicked clear in the lane. SHALL RETURN stalked the leader on the outside up the backstretch, navigated the bend from the three path and improved position to the wire. RUBYSA dueled on the outside through the opening quarter of a mile, continued to battle from the two path around the turn, was caught in upper stretch and kept on to the finish. CSILLA dueled on the inside early, continued to battle while saving ground around the bend and weakened in the final furlong. MAMBO DANCER bumped mildly with the horse to her outside at the start, recovered to track the leaders from the rail up the backstretch, saved ground around the turn and faded from there. AWESOME APEAL raced in the three path up the backstretch, came around the bend in the three path and showed no kick. ISLAND MAGIC raced off the pace on the outside through the opening stages, swung out to the five path coming around the bend and was empty in the lane. BIONDA SUPRISE bumped lightly with the horse to her inside leaving the gate, settled off the pace on the rail for the run up the backstretch, continued around the bend in the three and four path and made no bid.
