Chart notes

ARIANNA'S TOUR tracked five deep down the back straight, dropped back slightly going four wide at the three furlong pole, kept pace with the group throughout the turn, swung out six wide finding her best stride late, continued on the incorrect lead still coming on down the stretch and got up right at the finish line getting the nose down for the win. SANS DANCER was reluctant to load at the start, had the lead narrowly between horses early on, continued up top through the turn while shadowed on the outside, edged away from the turn rival in upper stretch, was kept to the task still running well down the lane just off the fence but was caught right on the finish line by the charging winner losing in a very tight photo. AVA'S PRINCESS had an inside spot in midfield, crept up saving ground in midturn, shifted out in the two path dueling what appeared to be for a minor share in upper stretch and found another gear late charging up the fence in deep stretch to settle for the show money while just missing for all the money at the finish line as well. SOBIECH travelled outside another in mid-division down the backside, was urged at the five sixteenths pole making little headway on the bend, angled to the three path for the drive to the wire and had good late energy between horses to be a fringe player in the end while in the conversation as well at the wire for the win too. SOUPER SPORTY was in the mix up top between foes in the three path down the backstretch, moved in to hound the pacesetter outside running around the oval, chased the leader in the three path never giving up down the stretch but evened out in the slightest in the final seventy yards with rivals surging late and lost a few positions in deep stretch. NAKEDINTHEFOREST was antsy in the stall prior to the start, pressed the issue on the rail in the beginning, tracked the engaged duo while in the second tier having the fence around the bend, shifted out at the quarter pole to be in with a chance in the four path at the top of the lane but yielded between rivals in the final sixteenth of a mile. DADDY'S SECRET settled close to the back on the rail, advanced smartly on the fence by the quarter pole, angled out in the two path in upper stretch, darted to the fence but had to be checked losing her path leaving the furlong marker and could not recover in time to be involved late. ZABARTA had a stalking role second to last in front of only the troubled starter along the backside, was passed outside to seeing the field at the three furlong pole and found a little something down the lane to pass a couple of tired runners in the stretch drive. SEEKING MAGIC prompted the pace in the four path between foes early on, travelled outside in the second flight watching the dueling pair through the turn, shifted out five wide turning for home, could not quicken with others and wilted between horses by mid-stretch. YA NO hesitated then veered out on the break to trail the field by many along the backside, passed a rival briefly under a vigorous ride on the fence at the three eighths pole and emptied out inside a rival in upper stretch.
