Chart notes

PRINCESS JAYLEEN chased from outside, moved out advancing on the leaders six wide coming past the quarter pole, was guided out further at the top of the stretch for room, struck the lead a sixteenth out and surged clear. GHOST OF GENEVIEVE stalked up close just off and outside, went four wide making a bid near the quarter pole, was turned away by the leader in upper stretch but kept on late to re-engage and get up for second while outkicked by an outside foe for the top prize. LUCY TREASURE was quick to the lead, set the pace from off the rail facing outside pressure, turned away the nearest challenger in upper stretch but had to contend with that one and another foe later, could not kick on with the top one and yielded grudgingly for the place. LATER DAYS chased from inside, moved out on the turn, raced into upper stretch seven deep and came again to finish strongly but too late. MAYCEE JO bumped a rival at the start, was caught wide mid-pack into the turn going five to six wide, floated eight deep for the drive, ran on with mild interest. THREAD COUNT was bumped lightly at the start, raced up close chasing three wide into and on the turn, paused just briefly near the quarter pole and moved out, needed more. ELDORADO DREAM bumped a rival lightly at the start, raced near the rail but was one-paced. MAMALONA chased in behind going about three wide on the turn, weakened. WHERE'S FRANKIE was bumped into a rival at the start then exchanged another bump with that one and steadied sharply, raced toward the back off the inside, angled nine wide at the top of the stretch, failed to menace. FEEL FREE was bumped a couple times at the start steadying slightly and not a threat. JADED TIGER broke a step slowly and was never a threat. FOLLOWING AN OBJECTION BY THREAD COUNT AGAINST GHOST OF GENEVIEVE ALLEGING INTERFERENCE, NO ACTION WAS TAKEN.
