Chart notes

BAM'S BLISS KISS broke a bit awkwardly but on even terms for the front then was hustled, showed the way down the backstretch while a bit off the inside, vied in the two path for most of the turn then dropped to the inside, came back off the rail while roused into upper stretch, swapped back to her inside lead when put to a right-handed crop at the eighth-pole, remained on the inside lead in the final furlong and held under steady urging. ROMANTIC DANCER was well placed just off the pace, dropped to the rail inside the three-quarter pole, saved ground for most of the turn, moved to the two path while roused late on that bend, chased the winner while remaining on her inside lead into the final furlong, swapped to the proper lead outside the sixteenth-pole and was second best. PURR FACTOR was hustled from the gate, settled well back on the inside, saved ground on the turn and was along for the show. SAVE US MELANIA showed speed then tracked the pace on the outside, chased in the three path on the turn and came up empty. ARROGARSI was hustled from the gate, moved out early on the backstretch, was ridden along on the outside, dropped from the four path to the two path on the turn and failed to respond. CURLIN'S MAGIC was last away then angled in early, settled on the outside, was urged along in the three then four path on the turn and was no factor.
