Chart notes

TAP INTO GRACE broke in the back flight, advanced steadily while five wide into a forward position through the turn, engaged the leader from the outside nearing midstretch and wore that rival down under steady handling. CUPID'S CHOICE closest to the early leader inside, moved out a bit and chased that rival in the two path turn, took over in upper stretch, responded when the winner challenged a furlong out, gave ground grudgingly to that rival. COURAGE ON TAP lacked speed outside, raced four wide through the turn, along for the show late while not a threat to the top pair. KISS ME MO bobbled slightly at the start, went one paced throughout while off the inside. LA CHISMOSA away in good order, forwardly placed while off the inside, weakened. NENAS STAR broke sharp from the outside, quickly cleared to the rail, showed the way into and through the turn then gave in readily when headed by the runner up entering the stretch. SCAT broke back, lacked speed while five wide through the turn, lacked a closing response stretch. LA JEFACITA last to leave, trailed throughout in showing little.
