Chart notes

WIRLY GIRLY broke sharply and raced to the lead from along the rail entering the first turn, set a pressured pace from the inside of ABOVE AVERAGE in the run down the backstretch and through the final turn, held a narrow advantage into the lane, and finished willingly one out from the rail to hold off a late bid by VIVA LA VINO to prevail. VIVA LA VINO away well and tracked the leaders into the backstretch while racing two out from the rail, maintained her position in the run down the backside, rallied smartly three wide through the final turn, and closed determinedly four wide in the drive in a solid effort. ABOVE AVERAGE eased off the rail entering the first turn and forced the issue two wide in the run down the backside from the outside of WIRLY GIRLY, continued to press that rival two wide through the final turn and into the stretch, and closed three wide in the drive to just get out nodded for the place. MISS UNION away alertly and was taken in hand and allowed to settle off the contested early pace entering the backstretch, commenced her bid from along the inside entering the final turn, and found her best stride late while finishing five wide in the drive. HIGHER IMAGE was off a step slow, and trailed throughout.
