Chart notes

YAYI NIKOLLE coaxed from the gate, chased six paths off the inside down the backstretch and then four then three wide through the turn advancing on duel midway, swung five wide into upper stretch seizing command straightened away, edged clear to the eighth pole, dug in under growing late threat but held safe to the finish. I AM EV chased five paths off the inside down the backstretch before tucking to the two path through the turn, came under urging at the three-eighths, angled six to seven wide into upper stretch and closed well through the final furlong latching on the top one as she hit the wire. RASTA GIRL dueled three to four paths off the inside down the backstretch with R SPECIAL to her inside, tucked to the two path through the turn coming under a ride at the three-eighths, swung three to four wide into upper stretch and weakened in the late stages. R SPECIAL fractious in the gate prior to the start, got backed out and reloaded, dueled from the two path with RASTA GIRL to her outside, tucked inside through the turn and came under coaxing three furlongs from home, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and tired. PARAIBA BLUE dwelt at the start and then shied in well behind the field conceding seven lengths to the front, chased three then two wide before tucking inside through the turn, cornered just off the inside into upper stretch and made no impact. LADY LUKA chased six paths off the inside down the backstretch, tucked to the rail half a mile from home, got ridden along at the three-eighths pole, tipped out four wide at the top of the stretch and tired.
