Chart notes

DREAM ON CARA brushed the off side stall and lunged at the start getting away last and conceding five lengths to the front, chased five then four wide coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, swung five wide into upper stretch, closed well to issue a challenge inside the final sixteenth and was just up on the wire to prevail. I'M KIDDING broke out at the start bumping BETTER BE SMART and getting corrected, ranged up from the three path to take over command with nine-sixteenths to go, tucked inside through the turn coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, cut the corner into upper stretch, edged clear under a drive to the eighth pole, dug in leg weary late under growing threat to the outside and was nailed on the line. MIA NIPOTINA chased three then two wide coming under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths, angled six wide into upper stretch, closed well to secure the show honors. MISS UPROAR coaxed from the gate, chased five then three wide under coaxing from the three-eighths, swung four wide into upper stretch, offered up a mild bid. BETTER BE SMART got bumped at the start by I'M KIDDING and conceded four lengths to the front, chased just off the inside under a ride from the three-eighths, angled four wide into upper stretch and offered up a mild bid. NIKKI BRAINBURST chased three to four paths off the inside down the backstretch and then just off the inside through the turn coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, spun three wide into upper stretch and weakened. CUPRITE showed the way early on from the two path until displaced with nine-sixteenths to go, chased just off the inside and then along the inside under encouragement from midway on the turn, took the inside route into upper stretch and weakened. EDDIES ROCKET chased just off the inside and then along the inside under coaxing from three furlongs out, tipped three wide into upper stretch, weakened in the drive.
