Chart notes

SAY AS I SAY settled inside and tracked the early pace, was set down leaving the quarter pole, tipped out to the three path in the stretch and finished best to be along in time. MAYPEARL came away well then took over the lead passing the quarter pole, dueled with BLAKE'S SONG late on the turn and down the stretch, got a head in front passing the furlong pole but was unable to hold off the winner. BLAKE'S SONG broke best and took the early initiative, then ceded the lead to MAYPEARL while maintaining a stalking position on the inside, battled gamely down the stretch under steady handling and left handed urging but weakened in the final yards. GLITTERS ANDIE settled four to five wide well behind the pace, made up some ground still wide on the turn then came four wide into the stretch and finished with some late interest but was much too late. RETIRED BLESSING tracked two wide behind the dueling leaders, tried to make a run at that pair leaving the five-sixteenths but flattened out in the stretch. CATSGOTACODE lacked speed and was being coaxed some to keep pace, dropped out the turn but was kept to task and able to oufinish a couple or rivais while never a threat. BELLERIA BABY was up with the leaders through the early stages, dropped back leaving the three furlong marker, came under a ride and was no factor in the late stages. AUTISM RIGHTS got off to an awkward start and spotted the field a head start, chased throughout and came up empty in the stretch.
