Chart notes

SHES VALS BARKLEY vied with ANNIE OAK LEE for the early lead from along the inside, shook that one off nearing the stretch and gradually drew clear. CANDY CREEK was close-up racing along the inside, angled out to come-wide into the stretch and finished well for second. SHE'S BACK was reserved off the pace racing along the inside, came two-wide into the stretch and rally late. BOUJEE BRITCHES was allowed to settle, rallied three-wide into the stretch and was gaining slightly late. EMPIRE BELLA was forwardly placed racing four-wide, came five-wide into the stretch but lacked a rally. THEBIGGERTHEBETTER was prominently placed racing three-wide and weakened slightly late. ANNIE OAK LEE vied for the lead to the stretch from along the outside and tired late. RIGHT AND TIGHT saved ground racing in the middle of the field and failed to seriously threaten. OBSIDIAN STORM saved ground while being unhurried and was not a factor. VESTA was off a step slow then dropped well back trailing the field and was eased during the late stages.
