Chart notes

SHIELDMEWITHPRAYER broke a step slow but was quickly up near the front on the first turn, settled behind SHE'S SO BEARISH, allowing that one to set the early pace, moved up with BEAUTIFUL MANDATE approaching the three-furlong pole, took over the lead near the quarter pole, went clear in upper stretch and won clear despite drifting in and out a bit in the late stages. BEAUTIFUL MANDATE tracked in third position in the strung out field, well behind the pacesetter, moved up heading into the turn then bid together for the lead with SHIELDMEWITHPRAYER on the far turn, could not go with that one into the stretch but kept on under steady handling to save the place. SACRED CONNECTION was the distant trailer to the far turn, then rallied through the late stages to move up into third. SHE'S SO BEARRISH had good speed from the break and established a clear early lead. Was left alone to dictate the fractions to the far turn. Tried to battle back under a challenge from a pair of rivals midway through the turn. Kept trying to the finish line but could not keep up the pace in the stretch. PASTA SALAD RHONDA was slow to begin, then chased from mid-pack, raced evenly throughout, and lacked a finish. HEART LIGHT saved ground through the clubhouse turn, but never fired and was never a factor.
