Chart notes

BLAZING ZENNA was a bit slow into stride but settled unhurried near the back through the early stages, had only one horse beaten late on the turn, then called through the stretch to win going away in the end. ELIKA was off a step slowly, then slow to get going despite the efforts of the rider, steadily advanced along the rail through the turn under steady handling, then finished up well under steady urging to gain the place while never a threat to the winner. BOTOX KATIE outpaced early despite being under a ride from the start, was last into the turn, swung about eight-wide into the stretch and rallied to gain third. VITAEMI sprinted clear early by about two lengths, held sway through the turn, then gave way readily when challenged in the stretch. OPULENT WAYS tracked in the second flight, then made a bid midway through the turn, came five-wide into the stretch, then flattened out while racing on the wrong lead and was unable to threaten. DANZING CHICK broke well but was not able to go with VITAEMI early, chased that one through the turn, then weakened in upper stretch. BEL ARIA chased five-to-six wide throughout and was outfinished. ROMANTIC JEWEL was off a beat slow, then tracked three-wide in mid-pack, then stopped in mid-stretch and was eased across the finish line and walked off.
