Chart notes

CANDY LOVER tracked the fast pace from towards the rear in the four path around the turn, floated out to the five path entering the lane before picking up stride while tipping out to the six path in upper stretch, rallied with a gradual gain to take aim on the new leader in the final furlong, bid in the late stages and edged past nearing the wire. READY FOR TROUBLE broke inwardly while breaking about a length slow, advanced along the inside approaching the turn, progressed to loom a danger while tipping out from behind the top pair entering the lane, took aim from the five path in upper stretch, bid passing the three sixteenths pole, led into the final furlong but got caught by an outer challenger in the closing stages. ANGEL KISS broke outwardly, pressed three wide, crept closer to vie outside of the leader and from the three path around the turn, led while shifting out to the four path in upper stretch, but got bested by an bidder rival entering midstretch, yielded through the final furlong yet saved show from an inner foe at the wire. SWEET ALYSSA came out at the start, prompted two wide and between horses early on, but gave way into the turn, continued to lose position in the three path around the urn, yet regained stride in upper stretch, came again and missed show at the wire. DEALING JUSTICE trailed in the two path and made little impact along the inside. ALWAYS ANGELS was hustled to the front, vied for the lead with an outer prompter while remaining a path off of the inside around the turn, got headed by that one entering the lane and weakened.
