Chart notes

BEST IMPRESSION dropped back after the start, was urged along on the outside, moved up late on the backstretch, chased in the five then four path on the turn, came under a right-handed crop while remaining on her inside lead inside the three-sixteenths pole, gained to make a bid while still on her inside lead outside the sixteenth-pole and got up late to prevail. LOLLIPOPS broke out then was hustled, stalked the pace on the outside, engaged the leader while on the three path on the turn, took a short lead in upper stretch, led under a drive into the final sixteenth but was caught while able to hold the place. ANOTHER CLEESHAY became restless in the gate when a foe broke through the front, was urged along off the pace, dropped back leaving the backstretch, moved from the rail to the two path on the turn, spun into the stretch in the three path then moved further out and finished willingly for the show. HANDLE ON YOU was away awkwardly then dropped back under urging, went around the turn in the two path, was driven into the stretch in the three path under the crop, drifted in just inside the furlong marker and improved with late energy but failed to impact. TIMIA broke through the front of the gate prior to the start, was brought back around and reloaded after being deemed fit to run by the state veterinarian, came away well and went straight to the front, showed the way down the backstretch, vied inside on the turn, was asked outside the quarter-pole, lost the advantage to the runner-up in upper stretch, dropped back into the final furlong and weakened. JUST WORDS was hustled from the gate then well placed just off the pace, dropped from the two path to the rail early on the turn, chased into the stretch and came up empty. SPA CITY ZIPP was fractious in the gate, showed towards the front early then was taken back off the pace, came under urging before the nine-sixteenths pole, went around the turn in the four then three path, spun into the stretch in the five path then moved further out and faltered then was eased in the final furlong but walked off.
