Chart notes

GEEZ ELOISE chased three then two wide coming under a ride at the five-sixteenths, spun three wide into upper stretch, rallied to issue a challenge inside the final furlong and was up in the final seventy yards, then inched away to the finish. GOLDEN IRISH struck the off side stall at the start and came under hustling, advanced to duel from the two path with FEASIBLE to her outside from the five furlong marker, shook away briefly at the half mile pole before being engaged once more in the turn, came under coaxing near the quarter pole and swung three to four wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive and was caught in the final seventy yards. FEASIBLE hustled from the start, dueled three then four wide with the aforementioned foe to her inside, got let out spinning six to seven wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive and kept on to preserve the show honors on the wire. MELLE MEL coaxed from the gate, chased seven then six wide coming under coaxing three furlongs out, went eight wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive and shied out when shown a left handed crop three paths a furlong out before being corrected and offering up a mild bid. VOLATILE MARKET coaxed from the gate, led early on until displaced by the duel five furlongs out, chased five wide under a ride from the five-sixteenths, angled six to seven wide into upper stretch and weakened. THEPRINCESSFACTOR stumbled at the start, chased five then four wide down the backstretch before tucking inside at the half mile pole, came under urging at the three-eighths marker, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and weakened. FLATTER FANATIC lunged at the break, chased six then five wide down the backstretch before tucking three then briefly two wide through the turn under encouragement from the seven-sixteenths, tipped out three to four wide for home, and trailed throughout.
