Chart notes

CANDY ON TOP bobbled away from the start but was off in good order, stalked the early pace from an outside position, advanced into the turn and pressed the modest pace between rivals nearing the quarter marker, lost a bit of ground into upper stretch, re-rallied and battled with SPARKLE SWEETLY approaching the furlong marker, took command into the final sixteenth and edged away in deep stretch to prove best. SPARKLE SWEETLY sent away from the start, assumed command and set the pace approaching the half-mile pole, dictated terms while off of the rail into the turn, shook free of pressing rivals into upper stretch, was re-engaged by CANDY ON TOP and battled that rival to the furlong marker, fought the winner into the final sixteenth, was outfinished in deep stretch and held well in the end for place honors. ORDERLY TRANSITION (GB) rated off of the early pace while never far back, improved position four wide approaching the quarter marker, chased while widest into the stretch, could not muster the needed late response and was outkicked into the final sixteenth, while holding safely for third. MAGIC WANDERER tracked the moderate pace from the inside, saved ground into the turn and improved position at the quarter pole, raced a bit in tight into upper stretch and ran evenly to the furlong grounds, could not sustain her run into the final sixteenth and flattened out.
