Chart notes

MOMUNNYFOR RO stalked outside near the back of the pack for most of the race, started to gather momentum in the four path behind the leaders in upper stretch, found another gear with a furlong from the line and quickly burst between rivals three wide with a sixteenth to go to get up in time for the win. WORLD SHOWCASE was away alertly to lead at the start, kept a close eye, watching the front pair while three wide along the backside, was shuffled back a couple of positions at the three furlong marker, angled out widest in the eight path turning for home, was gaining on the leaders with every stride down the lane but was outrun late by the fast charging winner just before the wire. SPARKLE'S LIL GIRL travelled on the fence in midfield, took the shortest way around the turn in the third flight, closed in on the leaders four wide with a quarter to run, dueled for the lead with a sixteenth from home in the two path but was no match for the pair of late closers just before the wire. MARDENE chased the pacesetter in the early going, moved in to loom boldly four wide in upper stretch, edged closer with an eighth left to run, could not find more late and evened out in deep stretch for a minor share in the end. PRIVACY SETTING (FR) took this field down the backside while on the rail, continued to set a fast pace up front throughout the turn, was clinging onto the lead in mid-stretch drifted out under left-handed encouragement at the furlong pole, ran out of steam late and wilted with seventy yards to go from the finish line. PRINCESS O DENMARK broke out on the start, settled in midfield between runners down the backside, save ground improving around the bend, shifted out to have a chance for a small share in the three path by the three sixteenths marker, was checked losing its path on the rail with a furlong remaining and still tried to catch rivals to the wire. SCORED watched the front duo while tucked in on the rail down the backside, kept pace just behind the frontrunner through the turn, was in range if good enough just behind the leader in upper stretch, shifted in when driving on the rail with a furlong to go, had a chance for a share of the prize on the fence with a sixteenth to go but faded in deep stretch. SILENT PASSION was pushed out on the start, settled on the fence in mid-division, lost position running inside early on in the turn, made a quick move on the fence when turning for home to be in touch with the leaders but could not sustain the rally by the furlong marker. INDIANA ROAD was in tight between runners on the break, settled in the second flight between runners down the backside, closed in three wide on the turn, posed a threat bidding in the five path straightening out for home but weakened between foes at the furlong marker. RACE DAY CHANCE was squeezed on the break to be ahead of two rivals down the back straight, made no impression around the turn and passed a couple of tiring runners inside by mid-stretch. PRAIRIE SKY was squeezed on the break, tracked the contesting duo three wide outside foes down the backstretch, had a stalking position in the third flight outside around the bend, angled seven wide for the drive but had little to show in the stretch run. TIPSY'S EMPIRE was off a step slow to begin, had one rival beaten along the backside and could not get involved driving to the finish line. OUR STELLA settled four deep in mid-pack outside foes early on, was going in the wrong direction through the turn and made no presence in the stretch running. HUMBLE HEART bobbled soon after the start, trailed down the backside and could not be a factor in the stretch.
