Chart notes

LITTLE MISS CURLIN settled a few lengths behind the pace, loomed four wide through the turn to take command just after the quarter, kept on task through the finish to be much the best. WICKEDWITHBOURBON broke swiftly, opted to press the early pace, reclaimed the lead at the three eighths, gave way once more in the upper stretch, clearly second best. LITEUPTHENITE trailed in the early stages, began making progress in the turn, took towards the outside of the stretch to be up for the show award. JUSTLIKELOUISE tracked the pace three wide, flattened out in the stretch. VARINISI settled off the pace, trailed through the turn, passed retreating foe. EL STAR claimed a narrow lead shortly after the start, gave way at the three eighths, retreated and eased across.
