Chart notes

READY FOR CANDY moved in while going to the front, was well rated while setting the pace in the two path, responded well when set down into upper stretch then accelerated further in front, drew off under a hand-ride while being flagged with a right-side crop into the final seventy yards then was eased up while much the best. INESPEREE jostled with a rival just after the start, became very rank along the rail under restraint early and was taken up, continued eager through the first turn, was rated on the inside, came under urging on the far turn, pursued the winner in the stretch and got up for the place. MYSTIC SEA lost footing in the hindquarters at the start but broke with the body of the field, established a forward position early, was well placed just off the pace, continued to save ground while asked on the far turn, shifted to the three path at the quarter-pole, pursued the winner in the stretch and was no match then lost the place while able to get the show. PEMAQUID dropped well off the early pace, moved from the two path to the inside on the first turn, settled towards the rear, was roused in the two path on the far turn, spun into the stretch in the three path while under the crop, drifted in some outside the furlong marker and failed to rally. DIMENSIONALITY was hustled from the gate then jostled with a foe, raced between foes while taken under a tight hold early, navigated the first turn in the two to three path, settled on the outside but with cover, was asked in the two path on the far turn, swung out to the five path into the stretch and lacked the needed response. ABUNDANT LOVE stalked the pace on the outside in the three path, was given her cue on the far turn, chased in the four path into the stretch, dropped back into the final furlong and tired. PIONUS dropped well off the early pace, moved from the three path to the two path on the first turn, settled at the back on the outside, was roused in the three path on the far turn then driven into the stretch in the four path and was no factor.
