Chart notes

ROCIO trailed in the three path, advanced while shifting to the five path entering the lane, tipped wider in upper stretch and rallied to reel in the clear leader in the final sixteenth. MY LITTLE WILDCAT pressed the leader from the three path, bid and gained an advantage at the three furlong pole, drew clear entering the lane, maintained a clear margin through midstretch but was caught by an outer challenger late. STARLIT SOFI tracked the top pair from the two path, tipped to the four path into the lane, gained place while chasing the clear leader in upper stretch, but got outkicked at the sixteenth pole. BRIDGIE BOP broke half a step slow, pursued from midpack in the three path, then between horses around the turn, chased while moving out to the four to five path in upper stretch and stayed on mildly while hanging on her left lead. YES TO CHAMPAGNE set the pace inside of a pressing rival, got headed by that one at the three furlong pole, proved no match entering the lane and yielded. CATCHING HEAT broke a beat slow, raced off of the pace along the inside, came under urging while saving ground around the turn, tipped to the two path into the final furlong but lacked progress. BISA raced off of the pace in the four path then tired while floating to the six path into the lane.
