Chart notes

WITH A KISS pressed the early paced three to two wide, went up two wide to go on even terms by the furlong marker and then made a two to three wide bid leaving teh turn and drew clear under a mild drive to prove best. IMPERATRICE rushed up the inside to set a pressured pace on the rail, headed by the quarter pole and could not match strides with the winner while keeping on gamely to be clearly second best. SMART SUGAR tracked the leaders from the outside and was three wide on the turn, came four wide off the bend and faded while besting the rest. UR DESIRE was bumped at the break, chased the pace and was three to four wide on the turn, came five wide into the lane but had no rally while racing a bit green. BEST NOT MISS broke in and bumped UR DESIRE at the start, tracked the leaders from the inside and then chased the pace on the inside to the two path on the turn but weakened. PERFECT TWIRL chased the early pace on the inside and fell back on the turn while on the rail, moved out in the lane and offered no late response.
