Chart notes

FUN TO RUN set a pressured pace while remaining a path off of the inside, showed the way well in hand around the turn, shook clear entering the lane and drew off under a drive. UNITED FOREVER transferred contact from an inner rival to an outer foe at the start, then brushed with an outer foe early on, laid off of the pace while tucking to the inside around the turn, saved ground turning for home, stayed on inside of rivals to bid for place at the sixteenth pole and edged that position. STARLIT SOFI vied outside of the leader and from the three path early on, yielded as an outer rival joined the fray entering the turn, sustained forward position while chasing around the turn, re-forged place from an outer rival in upper stretch but was bested by an inner rival late and lasted for show. HEARTS UNITED laid off of the pace in the three path, shifted out to the five path in upper stretch and ran on willingly. LADY RILEY laid close up in the four path and between horses before easing back approaching the half mile pole, stalked from the three path around the turn, took aim in the four path entering the lane, but only managed to chase between horses in the final furlong. UP ON THE EDGE was bumped by an inner rival into an outer foe at the start, stalked outside of the main flight and from the five path, moved forward to vie in the four path into the turn, was roused to maintain pressure outside of the leader and from the three path around the turn, but proved no match entering the lane and yielded between rivals. YES TO CHAMPAGNE lacked speed in the three path, swung out to the six path in upper stretch and failed to factor. STARCOURT broke outwardly and bumped a rival at the start, tracked from midpack along the inside, chased in the three path and between rivals into the lane but gave way. SWEET LILIBET broke a step slow, lacked speed in the two path and failed to factor. RED WINE LADY broke a step slow and was bumped by an inner rival at the start, was slow to recover and lagged behind the rest early on, then cut the gap on the rest while hanging on her left lead late.
