Chart notes

JUST ADORABLE was nicely rated between rivals down the backstretch, then shifted to the three path on the turn, dug in gamely in the upper stretch to edge past the pace setter in the final furlong to claim the win in the end. IN A MINESHAFT saved ground behind the field while racing in the two path, then swung six wide leaving the turn to close well down the lane and be up for the place prize. EARLY SPRING was away sharply to set the pace from the inside, cleared the turn but was over powered in the late stretch by an outer rival and was best for third in the end. MEDAGLIA'S SONG raced in the middle of the field from the inside, was urging steadily on the turn but came up evenly in the stretch. MIA IS SHORT was off slowly at the start then settled along the rail and passed tired foes in the end. CREAM PUFF REAPER chased the pace from the inside in the early furlongs then flattened out in the stretch and needed more in the end. TOUCH WITT CLASS chased the pace while three wide, was under a strong drive throughout the turn, then weakened in the stretch.
