Chart notes

AWESOME EMPRESS was well rated to the outside, made a three wide move on the turn to vie for command leaving the turn, then hit the front and drew out to prove best under left handed crop urging. JASSAI tracked the early pace in between rivals, moved out and made a four wide run on the turn, continued on to be clearly second best. UTOPIA ROSE tracked the early pace up the inside, eased out to the two path midway on the turn, came two wide off the turn and angled out in the drive and was along for the show award. VIOLETS SMILE vied for the early lead outside a duo, then dueled two wide on the turn and then was engaged to her outside and vied for command with that rival leaving the turn but weakened in the final furlong. PLAY FREE BIRD vied for the early lead and then dueled for the lead on the inside to the three eighths marker and then weakened. HONEYCOMB vied for the early lead in between rivals and then dropped back on the turn and weakened.
