Chart notes

FOREVER SAFE showed speed and contested the early pace from the outside, set pace to turn, drew clear nearing the quarter marker, kept to task into the lane, held sway to the wire. METHODS settled to turn, chased three wide upper, gaining late, second best. MAYA D contested pace inside to turn, chased from the two path to upper stretch, flattened out, saved third. CHARLOTTE'S SPIDER settled, chased inside to quarter, shifted out into the stretch, no final kick, missed for third. LA BELLA BELLA contested pace between to turn, lost position into the bend, chased three wide upper, kept on in the stretch. IN SPITE OF IT settled inside, coaxed two wide upper, moved up stretch. GRAZEN GATOR settled second flight, chased four wide to quarter, weakened lane. HOOK EM UP tracked early pace between, shuffled at the three-eighths, chased inside to upper stretch, no late bid. I GET STORMED took back, chased two wide to quarter, no factor. STAY BY THE BEACH off very slow, never involved. ANNIE GET UR GUNS broke in, off slow, coaxed four wide to quarter, tired stretch. THE STEWARDS CONDUCTED AN INQUIRY INTO THE START INVOLVING STAY BY THE BEACH, AND RULED THAT RUNNER CAUSED HER OWN ISSUES AT THE BREAK, AND NO ACTION WOULD BE TAKEN.
