Chart notes

OUR LADY PEACE allowed to settle early, trailed to the turn then was roused outside of rivals into the bend, circled four wide to upper stretch and closed determinedly into the final furlong, wore down LIL SWEEZEY in deep stretch and held off the runner-up to prevail. LIL SWEEZEY rated nicely off of the early pace, loomed four wide into the turn then vied for the lead at the quarter marker, took command to upper stretch and met the bid of OUR LADY PEACE nearing the furlong pole, fought gamely to the final sixteenth but was bested in deep stretch and was a clear second. STELLA E VELOCE vied for the early lead then disputed the pace from the inside along the backstretch, came under a ride at the quarter pole and gave chase to upper stretch, could not keep pace past the furlong marker but saved third at the wire. NUN GIMEL HAY PO was well placed in the early going, made a three wide move between rivals into the turn, vied for the lead nearing the quarter marker, weakened into the stretch and was outfinished for the show honors. SMOOVE OVER was away in good order and contested the early pace from between rivals, lost position into the turn, chased the leaders to the quarter marker and gave way in the stretch. TOVIA broke alertly and disputed the early pace three wide, got to the two path entering the turn and battled between rivals into the bend, lost position nearing the quarter marker, could not find more into the stretch drive and tired.
