Chart notes

GRATEFULLY showed speed on the inside of a rival, moved clear near the nine-sixteenths pole, went around the turn in the two path, was asked under threat inside the five-sixteenths pole, spun into the stretch in the three path, fought inside of the runner-up under the crop in the drive and proved best under strong urging. DELIGHTFUL FLAME showed speed then chased the pace on the outside, traveled around the turn in the three path, made a bid outside the five-sixteenths pole, turned into the stretch in the four path, battled outside of the winner under a crop in the drive and missed while clear for the place. SAILAWAY broke out at the start, was urged along off the pace, angled in late on the backstretch, went around the turn in the two to three path, turned into upper stretch under a drive and lacked the needed response while best of the rest. KADENA was urged along off the pace, went around the turn in the six path, turned into the stretch in the seven path and tired. MAXALUNA was very reluctant to load then needed to have her bridle repaired, angled in early then was urged along off the pace, saved ground on the turn and came up empty. HEY COOKIE was urged along in the front half of the field, chased in the four path on the turn, came into the stretch in the five path and capitulated. SHE'S COOL dropped well behind the rest of the field under urging, saved ground on the turn and was no factor. SHE'S A BOMBSHELL was urged along off the pace, rounded the turn in the five path, turned into the stretch in the six path, remained on her inside lead into the final furlong and had nothing left.
