Chart notes

PLAY FREE BIRD coaxed from the gate, chased just off the inside and then along the inside coming under coaxing at the quarter pole, angled out four wide into upper stretch, had to tip out a path at the three-sixteenths as MAJULU got guided out to greet her, traded a bump with that rival a furlong out when seizing command, came in under a right handed crop and herded her main danger in a path when head to head for command a sixteenth out, then gamely bested that rival in the final jumps to the finish. MAJULU broke in at the start bumping SUPERSTARSUSAN, vied three wide despite a rating hold early on, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, swung three to four wide into upper stretch seizing command straightened away, got guided out a path to look her main danger in the eye forcing that foe to alter slightly, dug in and traded a bump at the eighth pole when headed for command, continued on under a drive dueling to the finish getting herded in a path before being steered out to hold her ground a sixteenth from home and was ultimately bested at the end. SUPERSTARSUSAN got bumped solidly at the start by the aforementioned foe, chased three wide under coaxing from the seven-sixteenths, went seven wide into upper stretch and kept on to secure the show honors. INFLAMMABELLE bobbled at the break and recovered inwards bumping GALATRONA into MAXING THE BANK, then tucked inwards after the start and forced GALATRONA to check off her heels and alter outwards, chased three wide coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, went six wide into upper stretch and weakened in the late stages. REALTA chased along the inside coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, improved position to the finish. MAXING THE BANK got bumped at the start by GALATRONA due to pressure from INFLAMMABELLE, chased just off the inside and then along the inside under coaxing from the five-sixteenths, took the inside route into upper stretch and weakened in the late going. PUREST PERFORMANCE brushed the off side stall at the start, vied just off the inside between foes coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths in the midst of being shaken off, swung four wide into upper stretch and took brief hold as PLAY FREE BIRD tipped out in front, then weakened through to the finish. GALATRONA got bumped at the start by INFLAMMABELLE and in turn bumped MAXING THE BANK, then got forced to steady off the heels of INFLAMMABELLE as that rival crossed in front after the start and altered out and conceded four lengths in total after both incidents, chased five to six paths off the inside down the backstretch and then four wide through the turn, went seven wide into upper stretch and weakened.
