Chart notes

LA RUNA was blocked leaving the gate and switched to the outside, stalked the leader up the backstretch, challenged from the three path coming around the turn, drifted in some in midstretch and drew off from there. TWIRLING GRACE hit the gate leaving it, recovered to lead the way on the inside up the backstretch, saved ground around the bend and could not go with the winner in the stretch but chased that rival home. PRINCESS TERESKA was bumped by the horse to her outside leaving the gate, tracked the leader on the rail through the opening stages, came around the turn in the four path and weakened in the final furlong. MELANCHOLY BLUES veered in and bumped with an inside horse at the start, recovered to chase the leader between horses up the backstretch, continued around the turn in the two and three path and faded in the lane.
